1) A Mexican rock band, that's not not afraid of experimenting, with a modern sound, an eclectic style, some British influences & overall, their music's sophisticated without loss of rock energy. Their lyrics cover many subjects / feelings, with the same level of sophistication that their music shows, plus honesty. They usually write songs in Spanish, sometimes in English or a combination of both languages.
They began as a band in 1994; as time went by, the band changed members several times until the definite lineup stuck in 1997 with León Larregui (vocals and guitar), Sergio Acosta (guitar), Beto Cabrera (drums), Ángel Mosqueda (bass) and Chucho Báez (keyboards). Then the band made a demo and many gigs on their own with the little resources that they had; with all that, Zoé began to call the attention of the hispanic radio stations in the U.S. Later in 1998, Zoé signed a record deal with Sony Music Mexico and began making their first record in 2000; this album, self titled, came out and quickly became a favorite of the audience in Mexico; after that, the band performed songs in soundracks of movies such as 'Amar Te Duele', 'Ladies Night' and 'The Dreamer'.
Fast forward to 2003. Zoé, along with producer Phil Vinall (Placebo, Elastica, Pulp), recorded their second album called 'Rocanlover', which became more successful than the first one thanks to hit songs like 'Peace & Love' and 'Veneno', which aired in several TV countdowns.
In 2005, after three years of working together, Zoé left Sony Music because of the lack of real interest that this record label had in them and signed a new deal with Noiselab; with a newfound belief in record labels, Zoé made an EP called 'The Room', which debuted at the top of the rankings in Mexico. This EP includes, among others, the song 'Dead' (first single); also,are including "She Comes" and "Morning Watts" as new songs and also some remixes of "Dead" by great electronic artists from Mexico such as Sonido Lasser Drakkar or Los Dynamite, plus a couple of videos.
On July 12th, 2006; Zoé (now wih Rodrigo Guardiola in the drums) presented their more recent production, "Memo Rex Commander y el Corazón atómico de la Vía Láctea", a sophisticate, layered production, which tops several magazines' rankings. Both Zoé and producer Phil Vinall worked very hard in Tornillo, Texas, a remote town in the desert, to get "Memo Rex" finished.
In fall 2006, Zoé headlined the Rockampeonato Tour, along with other Noiselab signees like Los Dynamite and Los Odio!, which held shows at cities like Mérida, Guadalajara and many others. This is the biggest tour Zoé has been a part of since they were formed.
In 2007 Zoé recorded "281107", a live album that celebrates their first 10 years as a band, it was recorded on the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, this recording went platinum pretty quickly which is something unusual for live recordings in Mexico. On November 11th 2008 "Repileptric" Zoé's seventh studio album was released.
2) An alias of Zoë Pollock (b. in Peckham, London, UK - aka Zoë, Zoe, Hepzibah Broom & Pollack), is a pop / rock / folk singer who began her career in the mid-80s, dated Martin Glover (aka Youth, who produced her early work), released three solo albums (two as Zoë, another as Hepzibah Broom) & several singles. She is now a member of Mama.
Her 1991 début, Scarlet Red And Blue (originally, released as Zoë's Scarlet Red And Blue), contained Sunshine On A Rainy Day & "Lightning" (aka Sunshine On A Rainy Day & Lightning, with 'Zoe' spelling), which have been her biggest hits, to date (peaking at #4 & #37, respectively - on the UK chart).
In 1996, Zoë re-emerged - still with M & G Records & bringing a revamped image / style / sound - releasing an americana-styled rock album, Hammer.
Re-emerging again, around 2008, she has released Hepzibah Broom (as Hephzibah Broom) & formed female folk duo 'Mama' (with singer Sarah McQuaid - their début release is Crow Coyote Buffalo).
3) A French-speaking variétés françaises singer, whose tune "Je Porte Un Toast" sounds like a cross between Françoise Hardy & Lamb.

Era mi chica ideal
Una dulce perla blanca Mexicana
La cual yo amaba
Pero nunca pude tener
Ni mostrarle todo lo que le escribí
En el fondo del mar
Flotando por el universo
En busca de señal
Señales de vida
En su constelación
Electro radiograma de amor
Destellos de mil años luz
Esta es la historia de una vieja canción
La de la primera vez
Recuerdo a Poli
Era mi chica ideal
Una dulce perla blanca Mexicana
La cual yo amaba
Pero nunca pude tener
Ni mostrarle todo lo que le escribí
En la espalda del sol
Satélites
Flotando por el universo
En busca de señal
Señales de vida
En su constelación
Mensajes o evidencia de amor
Destellos de mil años luz
Esta es la historia de una vieja canción
La de la primera vez

The lyrics to ZOE's song Poli depict a story of a lost love, specifically a girl named Poli who was the singer's perfect crush. He describes her as a "sweet white Mexican pearl" that he loved deeply but was never able to have or show her all the things he wrote for her. The singer then shifts gears to imagery of satellites floating in space in search of life and love, ultimately referencing Poli and the singer's first time together as a "message of love" and "flash of a thousand light years." The song is a bittersweet look back at a love that was never realized, but held onto in memory and through the cosmos.
The lyrics of Poli touch on themes of unrequited love, missed opportunities, and longing. The singer's attachment to Poli is clear from the start and grows more intense as the lyrics continue, with the repetition of "She's all I wanted, she's all I needed, the dream of all the men in Mexico." However, despite his feelings, he was never able to truly be with her or express himself completely. The mention of satellites and their search for life also reinforces the theme of searching and yearning, the idea that perhaps there is love out there somewhere, just waiting to be found.

El coro del final es la parte más triste de la canción
“she’s all I wanted, she’s all I needed, the dream, the dream of all of men in Mexico”
Se escucha un llanto o un berrinche en el tono de León, como cuando ella es todo lo que necesitas para ser feliz en la vida, pero ella no piensa lo mismo de ti y lloras porque las cosas no son como tú quisieras que fueran, me gustó la forma como lo expresó en inglés al final aunque la versión completa en inglés no sea tan buena como la original.

también termina la canción con un quejido con tono de reclamación, seguido de un quejido de tristeza para finalizar con quejido con tono de aceptación, es una interpretación simbólica.
