Known by the stage moniker FIOR, meaning both flower and truth, fiercely independent, 21-year-old artist Zoe Fioravanti makes sleek, beat-driven, pop infused music with elements of funk, soul, disco, and rock.
When the 2020 pandemic forced the world into quarantine, LA-based Fior began sharing her music, spending 2021 developing a catalog of original tracks with renowned producers Scott Storch, Vincent Berry II, Austin Brown, DannyBoyStyles, Mr. Franks, Social House, and Louie Lastic.
Fior’s debut single and accompanying music video will be followed by a 3-song EP in the Spring.
“Let Me Go” is a defiant anthem about creating freedom by breaking cycles. Fior explains:
“Let Me Go” was inspired by a relationship that ended three years ago. Over the past three years there has been a constant cycle of the boy that I loved pulling me back in, yet never fully wanting to commit.
Coincidentally at the same time that I started going into the music studio was at the point that I was finally fed up with the toxic cycle of that relationship.
I realized that here I was in a music studio, finally pursuing my dream, and I didn’t have energy to spend on something that was holding me back, including my insecurities about sharing my music. I really had a breakthrough in that moment.
The words “Let Me Go” speak for themselves. It means it’s time to move on to something better, to break free from the restraints that were holding me back for so long, to LET ME GO!”
“Getting this single and music video out is definitely one of my biggest achievements to date! The music video especially was a big one because I’m an over-thinker, it’s hard for young people to put themselves out there like that in the social media world. So for me it was a huge step to overcome my fears and just be able to say — this is me, I am Fior! But I’m not going to lie, making that video was a very nerve-racking experience! The feedback has been really good though, and I am very proud.”
