Brooklyn's Zsela drops the low-key beauty “Earlier Days”
Zsela Thompson's stunner of a second track “Earlier Days” gives a peek at her soulful songwriting potential.
With her exquisitely potent guttural tone reminiscent of oldschool greats, Zsela's only on her second track release despite honing her skills writing and recording music for over a decade. Her remedying new track is drawn from her forthcoming debut EP, which she'll preview on a stint around North America this Autumn supporting Cat Power and Angel Olsen.
"It's about ill-placed love and the uselessness of nostalgia," Zsela says about the track.
It's no shock that Zsela was bound for creativity - she comes from creative stock: her father is Marc Anthony Thompson of funk-rock collective Chocolate Genius, Inc., while her actress sister Tessa Thompson stars in the new Men In Black: International film alongside Chris Hemsworth.
