A Trap-Style Zola Jesus Song Is ‘Exhumed’ for Your Listening Pleasure

Since 2009, musician Nika Roza Danilova has been blurring the lines between classical, experimental and pop into a genre that's uniquely her own. As Zola Jesus, he's helped raised the flag for new artists to come forth with no songwriting boundaries, helping pave the way for Sacred Bones to become the powerhouse label it is. Today, she's returned with a new single, "Exhumed," from her upcoming record Okovi. The song advances what she's accomplished through her career, as huge string arrangements become flourishes for a thumping track. Near-trap production is mixed into the track, giving it a wide range of texture and feeling. It's a new place for her music to go, and it's as exciting as ever.
