Gabriella Zauna gets caught in traffic

gabriella zauna is driven by her impulses in her new dark-pop single Traffic — featured today on Tinnitus.

A piece about the desire to nourish our intimate personal desires even when they are untimely, Traffic Zauna changes path to explore a complex and contrasting sonic terrain, creating an emotional landscape of tension, sensuality and impulsiveness.

Traffic transports listeners to a different dimension with unique layered instrumentals and risky lyrics. Opening with ethereal vocals and quickly adding a drum beat and electric guitar, this new song is unlike anything you’ve heard before from Zauna. The floating, dreamlike vocal tracks support the lyrics, almost putting listeners into a trance. The electric guitar outro fading into silence evokes a feeling of liberation and closure.

Eventually, Traffic is a song that fuels a taboo associated with sex and intimacy; there’s excitement in doing something bad, like being intimate while stuck in a traffic jam. In this context, the audience is captivated, making them feel real emotions through the emphasis of the lyrics and the instrumental choices. Written by Gabriella Evangelist and produced by Zauna, Traffic blends influences from rock, pop and electronic music to create something new and different that will draw the listener in.

Zauna, a native of Manhattan Beach, California, was exposed to music at a young age, thanks to her father’s punk band. Always drawn to the beauty in the darkness of art, she began writing songs at the age of seven and finally began releasing them at the age of 15. Growing up, she found writing music to be an outlet when she struggled with her mental health. Influenced by artists such as Lana Del Rey, Matty Healy And Princehis goal is always to create music that is authentic to him and that resonates with his listeners.
