Zoe Wees: "I want to be a voice for women"
In an interview with blue News, the Hamburg native explains that her brand new song "Hello Again" is her most personal song to date. In it, she deals with a toxic relationship - a topic that is still talked about far too rarely. In her case, it is about domestic violence that she experienced in her relationship.
The lyrics of "Hello Again" show how deep Wees' wounds run. For example, she sings: "I got used to the abuse and the suffering", or "Have you ever loved someone who left you green and blue?"
The musician goes on to explain: "I want to be a voice for women".
"Music is my passion and I've been doing it since I was little". She has never made up a story, but has always wanted to write about her problems. "It's my way of switching off from the world".
