ZOHARA channels resistance and radiance in haunting cover of “Jóga”

This is where ZOHARA comes in, and her rendition of “Jóga” has a heart-crushingly greater emotional depth, one-trip/bruja caste vibe as an enchantment against violence and fear. Originally by Björk, "Jóga" has always been a striking breakup of emotional terrains. But when ZOHARA gets their mitts on it, it becomes something else entirely, a protest in grace.

An undeniable feeling, rooted in the harshness of her reality and accompanied by muted hostility, threatens to leave ZOHARA in cultural oblivion as she transforms this iconic track, creating an unparalleled sonic battle against constant erosion. Powered by a rich, textured production and carried by the intensely expressive vocal stylings of ZOHARA, this version also incorporates hints of electronic interference, interwoven with an eerie echo courtesy of Arabic musical touchstones.

Her voice doesn't just capture the song but stakes ownership of it, lending perspective and cultural significance. The strings are age-old, the rhythm evokes a meditative pounding from a bygone era, and the atmosphere is reverently intimate. It is music and, as well, resistance via beauty. In her use of the sonic lands of Arabic, she creates a sanctuary of sound, a soft but perpetual counter-spell to the darkness she is living.
