Zolita – Hypocrite
Today, sapphic summer continues as emerging queer popstar Zolita returns with her latest single, “Hypocrite”, arriving hot on the heels of her album, Queen of Hearts.
“Hypocrite” finds Zolita in the aftermath of breaking up, trapped in the tumultuous back-and-forth of hot new hookups and seething jealousy over seeing your ex with someone else. Both self-pitying and confessional, Zolita’s new track is a pop-punk-tinged personal call-out.
The perfect track for all your sapphic breakup playlists, “Hypocrite” features Zolita’s signature hazy alt-pop sound layered over scathingly honest lyrics that speak to the whirlwind of emotions that come with a breakup. Full of crunchy guitar riffs and razor-sharp vocals, Zolita delivers a single that showcases her alternative musical sensibilities and poignant self-awareness –
“I’ve been getting intimate with hot girls on the internet / Got no regrets / But I confess / If you’re doing half the shit that I’ve been doing in my bed / I’d want you dead / Guess I’m a hypocrite”
Zolita says of the track:
“I wrote ‘Hypocrite’ right after I went through a brutal long term breakup. I spent that first month post breakup getting under new girls to get over my ex, and when I heard she was seeing someone new (the community is small!) I had a meltdown. I wanted the chance to move on and sleep around, but I still wanted her to only be hung up on me – I was a hypocrite! This song is a self call out.”
Zolita is also set to bring her lauded live show back on the road this fall with an extensive run of headline U.S. tour dates with shows quickly selling out. Kicking off on September 13, the tour includes stops at New York’s Bowery Ballroom, Los Angeles’ Troubadour, Boston’s Brighton Music Hall, Philadelphia’s The Foundry, Nashville’s Exit/In, Chicago’s Chop Shop and many more.
