Valeria Music/Caroline International/Capitol UK

WE SAY

Continuing our Ones To Watch 2021 is the exciting breakout German artist Zoe Wees from Hamburg. It’s been a remarkable year for the 18 year old who, after releasing this reflective debut track back in March, has seen her star rise exponentially in 2020 as the song captured the imagination of listeners across the globe. Written about her struggles with rolandic childhood epilepsy and the feelings of loss of control, helplessness and exclusion from others, Control has become a massive hit across Europe in 2020. Having topped airplay charts across Europe and heavy support from Spotify and Apple Music, the single has now achieved gold in Belgium, Italy, Austria, and France and double platinum in Switzerland. It’s not just Europe though, with support now building over in the US with a top 20 position in the pop radio charts too. It may only be just one track, but with over 230m global streams across all DSPs, we believe this is only just the beginning for Zoe Wees and her mesmerising vocals and emotive lyricism. Tipped by Amazon Music and with fans in Tom Walker, Lewis Capaldi, Dean Lewis and Sam Smith (whom she supported on their recent album launch) to name just a few, Zoe is sure to bewitch many more listeners in 2021.
