Zoe Scott harnesses her artistic passions and soft feminine nature in her debut Bossa Nova album Shades of Love...
Shades of Love is a masterful collection of 12 classic songs elegantly remade by international recording artist Zoe Scott and produced by Bossa Nova powerhouse and 10-time Grammy and 2-time Emmy winning, Moogie Canazio.
As a young girl Zoe stood out as a natural performer, staring in plays and receiving scholarships for training at prestigious theater institutions in London. At age 18, Zoe decided to take a bite out of life and move to Rome to more fully pursue her passion for acting. Zoe immersed herself in various musical and theatrical performances in Europe. She was recognized for abandon and passion in singing and found herself writing rock songs and landing in Hollywood where she unleashed her fierce artistry as a Rock n Roll artist and performer.
“I remember the hard edges of it all. I loved it at first — the angst, the power, the energy, but simultaneously, I recall how boxed in I felt,” says Zoe as she gazes out the window eyes turned to the expansive Pacific Ocean.
“I remember the moment I felt ‘this isn’t me anymore’ and I started a journey of self-discovery and healing. With that came new artistic expressions and new ways to see, and receive love. When I first heard Antonio Carlos Jobim, I was swept away. I felt his soul through his music; through Bossa Nova and that was it. I had to make this album.”
After a spell of introspection, Zoe surfaced in a sensual fury of singing songs that spoke to her heart, familiar songs she made her own as she discovered her new voice in Bossa Nova. The 12 songs on Shades of Love are each snapshots of her own life and an expression of what she calls, “feeling in.”

Pressing inward, Zoe plunged heart first on a mission to find, and express the freedom, sensuality, and romance she was drawn to through Bossa Nova. Each of the 12 songs on Shades of Love is a vignette; a chapter in her life’s book, and an expression of what she calls, “feeling in.”
