I’m pretty sure everyone knows how much I love Zak Abel’s music by now. Following my All eyes on feature in 2015 (which repeatedly ends up as one of my most read articles since the release of his single Unstable in October), I hoped and waited for what seemed like forever before being able to finally witness his magic on stage at The Great Escape festival last year. However, because of a very busy schedule, I didn’t get the chance back then to chat with him and spill all the beans later over here. I therefore express my eternal gratitude to Laurine from Warner Music Belgium, who got the amazing idea to reach out to me when he came in Belgium for a press day, combined with too good but too short a showcase.

To avoid anymore frustration because I’m taking ages to edit this video, let’s look into the musical life of Zak Abel in order to discover together his current jams and the songs that made him the artist he is today! All of them are available to stream in the Spotify playlist at the end of this article and I’ll see you next week for the « pièce de résistance » (feel free to subscribe to the YouTube channel to be the first to know when it will go live)!
