Ze! on Charts in France


dear diary,

I am featured on Charts in France today… how fabulous! I am aware that the first commenter decided to say ‘pas terrible’, but hey, at least he felt the need to say something. So thanks for saying SOMETHING. It has made my day! :)

Partageant sa vie entre Bruxelles et Londres, Zé! est originaire de Malaisie. La jeune chanteuse est également auteur et compositeur. Se reconnaissant dans des artistes telles que Lady Gaga, Yelle mais aussi M.I.A., Santigold et Madonna, Zé! est prête à conquérir l’Europe. Zé! (prononcer « zay ») est une jeune artiste de Kuala Lumpur. Collaborant avec le producteur belge Ruben Debusschere, la chanteuse écrit et compose une musique bien à elle dans laquelle elle se reconnaît, cependant influencée par Lady Gaga, Yelle, MIA, Santigold, New Young Pony Club, Peaches mais aussi Madonna.

Ses chansons électropop (”I Am Glam”, “Candy”, “Boys I Like”…) sont intégrées dans un univers coloré et excentrique qui n’est pas sans rappeler Lady Gaga et Yelle. L’artiste n’en est pas à son coup d’essai et n’a pas attendu le succès de ses consœurs pour faire sa musique. De nombreuses participations à des publicités, à un trio RNB mais aussi de nombreuses collaborations musicales lui ont permis de s’affirmer et de se lancer en solo. Un premier EP “My Make-Believe” en 2003, un premier album “Shameless” en 2005 ont permis de se faire connaître mais aussi d’être nommé à des prix encourageant les jeunes artistes.

Son nouvel album devrait sortir à la fin de l’été. Le premier extrait “I Am Glam” est d’ores et déjà disponible.” – Nikolas LENOIR

I babelfish-ed this, and it translates to;
“Sharing its life between Brussels and London, Zé! is originating in Malaysia. The young singer is also author and type-setter. Recognizing itself in artists such as Lady Gaga, Yelle but also M.I.A., Santigold and Madonna, Zé! is ready to conquer l’ Europe. Zé! (to pronounce “zay”) is a young artist of Kuala Lumpur. Collaborating with the Belgian producer Ruben Debusschere, the singer written and a music well with it composes in which it is recognized, however influenced by Lady Gaga, Yelle, MIA, Santigold, New Young Pony Club, Peaches but also Madonna. Its songs électropop (” I Am Glam” , ” Candy” , ” Servant boys I Like” …) are integrated in a coloured universe and eccentric which n’ is not without pointing out Lady Gaga and Yelle. L’ artist n’ in is not with its blow d’ test and n’ the success of its colleagues did not wait to make her music. Many participations in publicities, with a trio RNB but also of many musical collaborations allowed him s’ to affirm and to launch out in solo. A first EP ” My Make-Believe” in 2003, a first album ” Shameless” in 2005 allowed to make known itself but also d’ to be named at prices encouraging the young artists. Its new album should leave at the end l’ summer. The first extract ” I Am Glam” is d’ now and already available.”

I Am Glam for Best Dance/Electronica Song AVIMA Awards


dear diary,

I have been feeling lucky all day today. My sis and I are preparing for a fashion show happening this Thursday – which spells excitement, stress and decisions. FYI, I’m a Libran, deciding things isnt naturally my best quality. But we somehow always manage to get the work done, almost miraculously. In the midst of working on our props, I decided to rent a book today – I wanted something light, totally fiction and very girly and ended up with ‘Weekend in Paris’ by Robyn Sisman. It’s about this 21-year-old Brit chick who after being called ’stupid secretary’ by her boss decides to call it quits and go on a spontaneous weekend trip to Paris. The idea of ‘accidentally’ stumbling upon a gorgeous frenchman whose name would sound something like Jean-Louis Van Croissant makes me want to eat loads of croissants. With strawberry jam, oh oui! So I was reading a few first pages of that before trying to sleep and I couldnt and so my feet goes on autopilot bringing me back here on my laptop. What a long story, i only meant to tell you ‘I Am Glam’ has been nominated for an award! Yippee! This is better than any Jean-Louis or croissant.

my life in finland



dear diary,

Here’s a song produced by my producer, Ruben Debusschere, for another artist I’ve always thought was a solo act by the name of Tommy – he turns out to be the vocalist of a 3-man band called Garcia Goodbye. They worked on this while I was there loafing about in the studio (read : sleeping in the corner like a little cat) being lullabied by him. Beautiful.

p/s : He’s never been to Finland.

can i be your candy?

dear diary,

i love my new single – the same way i always think my latest songs are my best – but i still love all my babies equally much ;) The song is about ‘boys and their fantasies’. Inspired by someone who broke my heart, so hey, fuck him.

Oh, and ruben, i <3 you you are a fuckin genius! xx

He keeps me up all night
Make me grab my pillow tight
Eat lipstick off my mouth
Puts his hands where i like

He wants to mess my hair
Make it look like he’s been there
Checks out my derriere
And I really dont care

You taste like candy

Bite gently on his ear
My fingers on his rear
Make him turn the lights up
But he wont find me there

Can i be your candy?

time for another baby


dear diary,

new flash :) its official, i’ve begun with my plans for a next album. finally, a new baby! it is going to be crazy exciting and i hope to release it sometime early next year. it will be my 2nd (its been 3 years since Shameless!) but a very first all-electropop disco record for me. i think its perfect timing now that i am about done with my european adventure and recording new tracks with ruben. wooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh!

xx

still shameless


dear diary,

as of today, it’s been exactly 3 years since i released my baby debut album Shameless. wow. cant believe it has been 3 years, but then again so much has changed. SO much. in such a short time. i’ve def outgrown the pink afro, and stripey socks to begin with. and the whole look that looks like a rainbow puked on me. or have i? haha. which means its only been that long that i’ve decided to do electropop – couldnt have made a better decision! electro music is zo awezome… i heart my electro yumness. i blame it on ruben. and in 3 years i’ve gone from being so-in-love-i’m-getting-married in love to im-so-single-i-need-a-vacation-from-being-single single woman. DAMN STRAIGHT, I SAID WOMAN. hah. which should explain the change of lyrics. lol. but i love it and enjoying it all cause i wouldnt have come up w such favulous lyrics without them favulous experiences of being a hopeful/obsessed/dumped/flinged/bitchslapped/heartbroken/stalked/stalking biatch. i admire myself for still believing in this crappy L word at all. my mind tells me its complete BS and i hear it say ‘I TOLD YOU SO’ every fucking time. i guess every girl has a ‘charlotte’ in them, as much as we all want to be ‘carrie’. so come on boys, bring on the heartbreaks. cant get enough of it.

xx
