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).

Zoé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Embriagado de ti, del calor de tu flor
Un huracán se levanta en la punta del cielo
Se abre paso hacia mi con violencia de amor
Ah! Que me hará sentir
Ah! Que me hará soñar o que me hará sufrir
Pero es que arrastro con un peso mortal
Y aunque dijiste que era solo cosa de una noche
Ya no me aguanto por volverte a tener
En explosión sin gravedad
Gotas de vinyl, chorreando las nubes
En explosión sin gravedad
Gotas de vinyl, chorreando las nubes
Y aunque me digan que no eres una chica fácil
Ya no me aguanto por volverte a tener
En explosión sin gravedad
Gotas de vinyl, chorreando las nubes
En explosión sin gravedad
Gotas de vinyl, chorreando las nubes
Gotas de vinyl, chorreando las nubes
The song "Vinyl" by Zoé is a passionate and intense love song. The lyrics describe how the singer woke up feeling intoxicated by the warmth of his lover's love, and how he is completely consumed by his desire for her. Despite knowing that it may not be wise to give in to his desires, he cannot resist the pull he feels towards her. The metaphor of a hurricane rising up in the sky with the "violence of love" conveys the power and unpredictability of his feelings.
The chorus includes the lines "Ah! Que me hará sentir / Ah! Que me hará soñar o que me hará sufrir" which means "Ah! What will you make me feel / Ah! What will you make me dream or what will you make me suffer". This shows that the singer is aware of the potential consequences of his choices, but is willing to take the risk for the chance of being with his lover again.
The repeated references to "Vinyl" throughout the song suggest a sense of nostalgia for a previous time, and the idea that their love is a rare and valuable thing that needs to be protected. The final line "Gotas de vinyl, chorreando las nubes" which translates to "Drops of vinyl, dripping from the clouds" adds to this idea of something rare and precious falling from the sky.
Overall, "Vinyl" is a passionate and intense love song that captures the feeling of being consumed by desire and the risks that come with it.
