Accomplished Los Angeles native and pop/R&B artist Z Chambers released his new song “Tightrope” this week. Featuring intriguingly melodic vocals paired with a mysteriously somber yet upbeat score, the artist delivers a poignant message sure to resonate with younger generations.
Z Chambers is a singer/songwriter born and raised in Los Angeles, California. He discovered his love for art and music at an early age and began participating in talent shows. Inspired by artists such as Justin Timberlake, Ne-Yo, Linkin Park, and Coldplay, Z started writing music and performing at local venues. After high school, he moved to Hollywood to pursue a career in music and attended Musicians Institute.
Z has worked with several producers in developing his music. He has built up a collection of songs and is pursuing his passion in expanding his catalog. He describes his sound as melodic Contemporary Pop, with shades of R&B. Z believes that when people stop and notice, art changes the world.
In the video, gorgeous imagery mingles seamlessly with the lyrics to create innovative accessibility that highlights the emotions behind the extended metaphor. The song is at once dark and uplifting, with a relatable message that perfectly encapsulates the desperation of clinging to defunct relationships and how it feels to change who you are in service of others. There’s no doubt this song will speak to younger generations forced to endure the weight of the world while being careful not to ruffle any feathers.
For Z Chambers, the metaphor is a representation of what it felt like to maintain any semblance of balance in his life as he struggled to keep things from falling apart.
“When I was writing Tightrope, I was in a difficult place,” said Z, who wrote the song for his upcoming EP along with a co-writer. “I felt like I had to walk on eggshells to avoid upsetting [anyone]. It was like a masquerade. I had to wear a different mask depending on who I was around. It was suffocating. I wanted to capture these feelings in a song.”
Tightrope is already receiving praise from fans on social media excited to see new music from the young artist.
Z continues to work on his new EP with his co-writer. Of this collaboration, he said, “Exchanging our thoughts on the song proved to be a fascinating experience, and I’m confident that many others have experienced something similar. The power of collective creativity and shared emotions is truly special.”
