Art-pop artist Zoee (Harriet Zoe Pittard) made a quietly bold return a few weeks ago with “The Wave.” While her 2021 debut album Flaw Flower was intimate and introspective, a deep dive into personal vulnerability, “The Wave” hinted at a shift. Dreamy yet grounded, it carried emotional weight while opening the door to something looser, more expansive. It also introduced a new collaborative energy, blending live percussion with dance textures and quietly letting joy and grief sit side by side.

Now, with her new single “Grandiose Love,” the opener and title track of her upcoming new album, that door bursts wide open. The song is playful, theatrical, and immediate ; a heady burst of sensuality and self-expression. Built on jam sessions with her band, it pulses with instinct rather than polish, driven by Zoee’s desire to “think big and elaborately” and shake off the urge to hold back. The result is tactile and overflowing, like the poetic world it conjures: one of oversized fruits, outstretched arms, and feelings too big to contain. Even the artwork shows the artist carrying a huge heart, wide open to the world. If “The Wave” cracked open the door, “Grandiose Love” kicks it down. This isn’t just a new sound for Zoee, it’s a declaration of joyful excess and rebirth.
