EZILos Angeles-based artist EZI continues to tease her forthcoming sophomore EP on "blooming," a gorgeous new single and music video full of intimate musings that officially arrived July 24. The track comes on the heels of "not going down" which brought together celebrities, fans and friends alike for a heartwarming DIY music video where items were passed from screen to screen.

The debut artist on Steve Madden's label 5Towns, EZI quickly emerged onto the scene as a versatile talent. Praised by the likes of Refinery29 for her "upbeat [and] powerful" sound, she's allotted extensive editorial support while taking her talents everywhere from SXSW as Spotify's Artist to Watch to a support slot on MAX's 2018 tour as well as previously supporting Dennis Lloyd, Bipolar Sunshine & Marian Hill. That all goes without mentioning her appearances on Beats 1 Radio, featuring on a slew of Spotify and Apple Music playlists that have amassed 25 million+ streams, and starring as the face of Steve Madden's Madden Girl Spring 2019 Campaign. Her music has also soundtracked an array of buzzing shows and films including Netflix's Ginny & Georgia, CBS's In the Dark, BBC's Get Even, and the forthcoming major motion picture After We Collided. eziofficial.com
