Zoya’s New Era Is About Love, Art, and Logging Off

Mumbai, 29^th August 2025: India-born and California-raised, pop artist Zoya is stepping into a whole new chapter with The Human Era Is Over (The I/O), her most daring and concept-driven project to date, dropping October 10^th, 2025.

Zoya has made waves from India’s indie scene to her US pop debut with Bad Girls Dream, featuring Jack Harlow. She’s opened and toured on festival bills with Clean Bandit, Bloc Party, and Martin Garrix, earning co-signs from A.R. Rahman and The Chainsmokers.

The Human Era Is Over (The I/O) is born from a personal identity crisis and the chaos of modern life, it grapples with a fundamental question: What does it mean to be human in an increasingly digital world? Zoya finds her answers in unpacking the interplay between ‘input’ and ‘output’– a technological exchange of energy, emotion, and creativity that now threatens the two most important forms of expression art and love and uses them as a compass to navigate hyper-connectivity, disillusionment, and digital burnout.

The I/O is about searching for real connection in a world ruled by filters and algorithms. It explores the tension between input and output, feeling and façade, human and machine. Tracks like “God This Is Boring” capture the disillusionment of chasing fame in your twenties, while “Love On A Machine” offers a dreamy, satirical take on the kind of cosmic love we secretly hope for but rarely let ourselves believe in, especially in an age of finding love on the Internet. Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt is a chaotic dance between romance, heartbreak, sex, and anger, playing out the fantasy of connection while quietly asking for something true. “Twenty-Nine” is a raw confession of the quiet fears that come with approaching 30, while “Artificial Light” poses the bigger questions: what does it mean to be human, to love, and to create in an age of digital noise and disconnection? The album finds its breath with “Keep Going” and “Free,” which celebrates resilience and inner healing. It ends with “Fruit On The Beach,” a peaceful, joy-soaked reminder to slow down, savor the little things, and choose life for the sake of living.

This album bares Zoya at her rawest, most expansive– blending pop, dance, and cinematic soundscapes to examine how art, love, and identity can survive the algorithm. And this does not stop at just the music either; Zoya is building a full visual world around The I/O, including an immersive experience set to launch alongside the album.
