The EP marks Zélig’s very first cohesive project and dives deep into a personal story of resilience. Five years ago, Zélig faced unimaginable hurdles, including the loss of a sister, which sent them spiralling down a path fraught with depression, substance abuse, and self-destruction reminiscent of the late Anna Nicole Smith. However, through this tumult, Zelig found salvation in what they call “The Fifth Element: Love.” It was both a deep introspection and the supportive embrace of loved ones that pulled them back from the brink.
With 5, Zélig chronicles this transformative journey, from chaos to glory, inviting listeners to engage with their story profoundly. Zélig’s vocal prowess and sonic craftsmanship not only celebrate survival but also ignite excitement for what’s to come.
Mark your calendars for the fall release of 5, and prepare to be captivated by “Multipass,” the anthemic lead single ready to accompany the start of your week with an infectious beat and heartfelt emotion. Zélig is poised to become a defining voice, inviting us all to embrace the joy of music and the power of love.
Stay tuned!
