Bathed in the violet hues of an endless night, ZYLO takes us on an introspective journey with “STAY UP”, a pop ballad that is both tender and haunting. The song unfolds like a confession whispered to the moon, each word carrying the weight of a memory that refuses to fade. Between nostalgia and emotional drift, the artist evokes the loneliness of sleepless hours, those suspended moments when faces from the past reappear. “Tell me where I could go, when the time I would leave?” she breathes, like a prayer to the unknown. Produced by Micheal Anderson, the track wraps her delicate voice in an ethereal, dreamlike atmosphere, blending electronic textures with gentle melancholy. The music video, crafted by RNotte, extends this reverie: an animated, hand-drawn story in violet tones that portrays a heart seeking peace in remembrance. A delicate, contemplative piece unveiled by Slash Music, like a promise of calm in the storm.
” Tell me where I could go, when the time I would leave? ” ZYLO
The unique world of a sensitive soul
Originally from Sabah, Malaysia, ZYLO, whose real name is Helzeylo Ztenye, stands out as a distinctive figure in alternative pop. Shaped by influences ranging from R&B to trap to indie electronic, she creates a universe where vulnerability becomes strength and every emotion transforms into melody. For her, music is a language of the soul, a space where stories find refuge and fragility turns into beauty. Inspired by the sonic richness of Borneo as much as by Western rhythms, ZYLO embodies a new generation of artists who bridge cultures and emotions through sound.
Since her early tracks “No Rewind”, “Butterflies”, and “99 Problems”, she has built a path defined by sincerity and grace. Behind every note lies an artist deeply human, driven to let her truth resonate in a world constantly shifting. And if the night inspires her art, it’s because within it, she finds the inner light that guides her creativity. Keep your ears open, ZYLO is only beginning to make the world feel her sleepless melodies.
