British artist Zoe Konez continues confidently building out her own independent trajectory and presents a new single ‘Nudge, a subtle, almost weightless work preceding her future album Everything’s Fine, the release of which is scheduled for June 2026. Based in Brighton, she remains a rare example of a completely independent author: she writes, records and produces material in her home studio, consistently developing a recognizable sound handwriting. Behind her are already more than 5 million streams on Spotify, support of editorial playlists like Lost in the Woods and Glow UK & Ireland, as well as airplay on BBC 6 Music, where her music was noted for ‘understated acoustic guitar brilliance & forensic songwriting precision.
In ‘Nudge’, Zoe Konez stays true to her key approach: maximum closeness to the listener. The track ‘Nudge’ is built around fingerstyle guitar, which here sounds like a full-fledged narrator, setting the rhythm for an internal monologue. The vocals are recorded extremely close, creating an effect of almost physical presence. I recommend it!
