Viral Sensation Zoey808 Drops Debut Album, 'WHOISZOEY?'

Zoey808’s debut album offers a glimpse into the mind of the masked producer, and features viral tracks like “OSCILLATOR” and “COLLECT.”

Zoey808 has garnered millions of views and a massive following on social media, yet remains a mystery. The masked, anonymous producer has released back-to-back viral hits under this cloak of mystique, quickly rising to fame and becoming a widely known name in the underground bass music scene. Now, Zoey808 has added another chapter to his story by dropping his debut album, aptly titled WHOISZOEY?, on his own label, Zoey Worldwide.

Last week, he released a highly energetic music video for his breakout single, “FIGHT OR FLIGHT.” The new tune, which sits at the core of his debut album, is a collaboration with Canadian rapper bbno$ and capitalizes on Zoey808’s chaotic style. The track stands as a catapult from the underground scene to the forefront of bass music, an intention that is solidified with the accompanying album release.

WHOISZOEY? begins to peel back the layers on the up-and-coming producer, all while maintaining the allure of mystery intact. The album kicks off with the already popular track “OSCILLATOR,” one of six standout singles on the 12-track album. Those viral singles include the mesmerizing “COLLECT,” the bouncy and heavy-drums track, “LEFTRIGHT,” “DADADA” with Gentlemens Club, “WATERFALL,” and “DIAMONDzZz.”

While all tracks on WHOISZOEY? showcase that high-energy, heavy bass, and memorable anthemic lyrics, they each stand alone as a formal introduction into the chaotic space that the newly famed producer holds. “MOSHPIT” arrives with a buildup that can only lead to an explosive thump at the core of its listeners. The swirly undertones mixed with the rhythmic drums and lyrics personify the viral tracks Zoey808 is known for.

“LEVITATE” sees Zoey808 team up with Nvadrz & Alias for a track that lifts you right from its beat-building intro, combining crunchy sounds with easy-to-sing-along-to lyrics. But it’s the multiple drops that’ll send you into a tailspin of another world filled with texture, making it feel like two or three songs in one. The track is followed by “MIND CONTROL,” which maintains the energy while featuring a small sample that evokes memories of old-school hip hop and its fondness for basketball-related callbacks. A sure shoutout to the culture, “BORICUA” offers another. The Latin-inspired track has a bouncy house feel, accompanied by a dose of speaker-crunching bass.

The 12-track album comes after much support for the new artist from notable faces in the community. Zoey808 recently commented on his fast rise on his Instagram in a photo from his performance in front of 8,500 alongside Illenium. While some mystery remains around who Zoey808 is, what isn’t in question is his spot as an upcoming artist to watch.
