Pulling from a multimedia and performance art background, Zebra Katz brings a slo-mo dark delivery to his rhymes, which are set over a minimal, unencumbered beat on his highly acclaimed first single "IMA READ" (Mad Decent/Jeffrrees). "IMA READ" was heralded as the "Official Song of Paris Fashion Week" after Rick Owens personally chose it to score his Fall/Winter Womenswear runway show.

DIAMONDS
ON MY NECKLACE
TONGUE TWISTED UP
LIKE A FRENCH KISS
RECKLESS
FUCK ME UP
FUCK ME UP

I CAN’T CORRECT THIS
HEADLESS
I KEEP ON WISHING
I WAS NEXT
SURFER THROUGH ALL OF YO
SWEET NEGLECT
TOOK ALL MY LOVIN’
FOR INNOCENCE
DAMN
YOU FOOL SUCH A HEARTLESS
MAN
The lyrics to Zebra Katz's song "NECKLACE" convey a sense of frustration and longing. The mention of diamonds on the necklace implies a desire for material wealth and status, but the singer acknowledges that they do not possess such luxuries. The line "tongue twisted up like a French kiss" suggests that their words and thoughts are tangled and unclear, perhaps reflecting inner turmoil or confusion.
The repetition of "reckless, fuck me up, fuck me up, leave me breathless" expresses a yearning for intensity and excitement, even if it comes at the cost of emotional stability. The singer feels a sense of powerlessness, unable to correct or control their situation. The mention of being headless may symbolize a lack of direction or purpose in life. They wish to be next, but it remains unclear what exactly they aspire to be next in.
The reference to surfing through neglect and taking all their loving for innocence suggests a pattern of being taken advantage of or not valued in relationships. The singer feels hurt and betrayed by someone who has been heartless towards them. Overall, "NECKLACE" explores themes of desire, disillusionment, and vulnerability in a fast-paced and evocative manner.

This is stunning. Probably my favorite track on the album and completely unexpected. It's only flaw is that it isn't a bit longer. Honestly though I'd take a whole album with stuff like this.

Davie Jones I love sad, slow songs like this. All the other hype tracks are so good too on this project but this is a highlight.
