Gabriella Zauna has just released her newest single “Traffic,” a dark pop track about the thrill of feeling deep desire for another person.
Zauna fully immerses her listeners and puts them in her shoes with her intimate lyrics and unique instrumentation. Her impressive range and dream-like vocals put the song on another level and pull the listener in, curious to hear what happens next.
“‘Traffic’” is an exhilarating piece about giving into the impulse to be intimate with someone in an untimely circumstance, like pulling off the freeway to feed the urge and blaming her absence/tardiness on ‘traffic.’ This track takes intimacy a step further and views it as this irresistible desire that is craved even in inappropriate situations. It plays on the taboo of “doing something wrong is thrilling and attractive”. Alongside the devious lyrics, the production is riveting and keeps the listener addicted and wanting more, mirroring the definition of the song.”
