ZOOLOOK Releases Empowering New Single “Power of the People”

An Irie Fusion of Soul, Funk, and Electronic Vibes Inspired by the Legends of the 60s–’80s

April 20, 2025 — [San Francisco, CA] Multidisciplinary artist and musician ZOOLOOK has officially released Power of the People, a powerful new track that blends the spirit of soul, funk, and electronic music into a genre-defying anthem for unity and empowerment.

Growing up surrounded by my dad’s eclectic selection of vinyl records, I was immersed in a world of sound that shaped my musical DNA. Rooted in the sounds of the 1960s through the 1980s, ZOOLOOK channels the grooves of Motown, the deep basslines of Bernard Edwards, Maurice Gibb, and Mario Mantese, and the atmospheric synths of Jean-Michel Jarre, Herbie Hancock, Kraftwerk, and Kitaro. The result is a track that feels timeless and urgently of the moment.

“My sound is rooted in the message and melody of the ’60s, 70s and’ 80s—where bass grooves met rich synths, and every song had something to say,” says ZOOLOOK. “With Power of the People, I wanted to capture that same spirit—music that moves you physically and emotionally.”

Growing up, ZOOLOOK was deeply impacted by the music of these earlier decades—not just for its artistry, but for its honesty. “That music was a wake-up call,” he says. “It opened my eyes to what was happening in America—from civil rights to economic injustice. Those songs weren’t just hits but messages, warnings, and calls to action. And they still ring true today.”

Power of the People (Radio Edit) is my first single of 2025. I went back to the ’70s, pulled the funk from the fire, and brought this modern rebel rhythm to the frontlines of today’s fight with Power of the People. Originally titled Power to the People, I changed the title to Power of the People after watching Senator Cory Booker’s historic 25-hour and 5-minute speech on the Senate floor. Senator Booker’s words reminded me that the Power of the people is greater than the people in Power. That’s the energy I’m bringing with this new track. A 6-7 minute full-length version of Power of the People is also available exclusively via Bandcamp and ZOOLOOK’s official website.

Power of the People is ZOOLOOK’s first Direct-to-Fans release, with two versions available:
– A streaming-friendly radio edit for platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and TIDAL
– A full-length version available exclusively via Bandcamp and ZOOLOOK’s official website

ZOOLOOK’s music reflects a lifelong appreciation for music with substance—songs that groove and speak truth. His unique style combines the bass guitar’s deep rhythm, soulful storytelling, and cinematic sound design, all underpinned by a desire to create music with meaning.

Listen to “Power of the People”, streaming now on all major platforms. The full version is available on zoolook.com and Bandcamp.
