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”).

About

Shaya Zamora has swiftly become a worldwide phenomenon with his raw emotion and vibrant acoustic melodies, built upon a singular strain of intimate songcraft and deeply spiritual storytelling. Raised in rural Washington, Zamora began writing songs at an early age, chronicling what he considers “just real down-to-earth things.” The gifted young artist quickly found a following, earning him millions of worldwide streams and an increasingly fervent fan base in the months since his summer 2023 debut. Indeed, Zamora’s profile has continued to rise dramatically since the January 2024 arrival of his debut EP, Eulogize, which has garnered close to 50M total streams thanks in part to tracks like “Cigarette” (now boasting over 40M streams to date).

Zamora ascended even higher with 2024’s breakthrough release of “Pretty Little Devil,” available HERE. Now with more than 70M global streams (including over 2.8M US streams in its first week alone), the track rose to #2 on iTunes’ Alternative Chart while also ranking among the upper reaches of Apple Music and Shazam’s US and Global charts. “Pretty Little Devil” further earned over 200K creates and more than 400M views on TikTok (where it was added to TikTok’s #NewMusic global discovery hub and earned Zamora influential status as an Emerging Artist) as well as over 100M views via IG Reels. An official lyric video currently boasting over 11M views is streaming now on YouTube HERE.

“Pretty Little Devil” was swiftly followed by Zamora’s official label debut single, “Sinner,” available HERE. The profoundly moving track – which was first unveiled alongside Zamora’s signing in a Billboard exclusive – proved a viral sensation through a series of hugely popular social media teases, generating more than 60M views on TikTok thus far. “Sinner” is joined by an official lyric video now with over 3.6M views on YouTube HERE. Last fall saw the premiere of the introspective “Never Knew,” available now HERE. Now, with “Dark Sea” and more captivating new music to come, Shaya Zamora is sure to soar to even greater peaks of popularity and artistic connection.
