Buzzing Portland-based pop artist-to-watch Zoë Ferguson has recently released her relatable new single, “Die Alone”, via RockDafuqOut Records.
Since the release of her debut EP, Probably About You, in September of 2021, Ferguson has amassed quite a fanbase, and rightfully so.
At first listen the track is a catchy upbeat tune, but this does not mean Ferguson shies away from emotional and raw lyrics. She captures the struggle of needing people in moments of instability, reminding us that it’s okay that life isn’t supposed to be easy. She is vulnerable in revealing her fears:
“But I think I’m gonna die alone
Someone call my mom I need her on the phone
Cause I’ve hated every boy I’ve ever known
So, I’m pretty sure I’m gonna die all alone
A little worried I’ll be by myself
Cause I don’t think I really like no one else
Should probably get used to being on my own
So that I’m prepared for when I die all alone”
Her silky voice is full of emotion.
About the single she says, “I wrote ‘Die Alone’ after I had gotten out of a long relationship. I felt like I didn’t have very many people around and that I would never be in another relationship again. It was a hard time for me, but writing this song really helped me cope with the situation. I hope when people listen, they feel less alone and that they can relate. For me, ‘Die Alone’ feels authentic since it is about something I’ve been through and came from emotions I’ve felt personally. I love writing music that people can connect with and makes them think, ‘Wow, this is exactly what I’m going through at this moment.’”

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.
“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”
Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
