(Pop, Indie Pop) Waaktaar & Zoe - World of Trouble - 2017, MP3, 320 kbps

2017 project from legendary Norwegian songwriter and guitar player Pal Waaktaar-Savoy, of a-ha and Savoy fame. Waaktaar & Zoe is the name of the duo, where Pals exquisite and timeless songwriting is carried into a new era by a talented singer, Zoë Aphrodite Gnecco. They get the balance right. Although she is a new face, Zoë is no stranger to music and studios, being the daughter of American musician Jimmy Gnecco, Pals friend and collaborator from the project Weatherwane. The songs of Waaktaar & Zoe is the sound of two people creating music for the sake of music, effortlessly making pop music of vintage character and quality. It may be a world of trouble, but it is still possible to find meaning and happiness through music.

Pål and Zoe are both living in NYC and they have known each other for years. When this exciting collaboration turned into an album project they decided to simply name it Waaktaar & Zoe.
