Shaya Zamora Sets Sail On a "Dark Sea"
Rising alternative singer-songwriter Shaya Zamora has shared his deeply haunting latest single, “Dark Sea,” available now via Atlantic Records HERE. Produced by frequent collaborator Maxwell “Mxwell” Harlor, the track – which has been teased with short-form content across social media – sees Zamora exploring how we are all weighed down by our own struggles but possess immense strength to navigate dark waters and emerge on the other side.
“We’re all drifting in a dark sea,” says Shaya Zamora, “chained by the weight of our own sin. But even in the darkest waters, there’s a fight in us to break free and reach the light.”
“Dark Sea” follows last month’s arrival of Zamora’s first solo single of the year, the intensely intimate “Numb,” available HERE. Recent weeks have also seen collaborations such as colby! x Shaya Zamora’s “Monster“ and Tommee Profitt x Sam Tinnesz x Shaya Zamora’s “Lament,” while a pair of fan favorites have garnered new audiences thanks to soundtrack appearances on Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia (“Cigarette”) and The Waterfront “Sinner”.
