J Hacha De Zola’s “Do You” is the Anti-Love Song of the Summer

“If you’re looking for a heartwarming love song, then you’ve come to the wrong place,” says New Jersey musician J Hacha De Zola of his latest single, Do You. “This one is a straightforward Motown-ish tune with all the amorous feelings of wanting to be loved and desired but also being thoroughly clueless and disconnected from the actual dance,” J continues.   Do You is equipped with J’s signature, haunting blues and brooding (a compliment, of course). It is a track that begs a response—any response—from a detached lover. Just another prime piece peeled from J Hacha De Zola’s upcoming … Continue reading J Hacha De Zola’s “Do You” is the Anti-Love Song of the Summer
