Zohara's version of "Jóga" is a bold reinvention of Björk's iconic anthem

Covering a song like Björk's "Jóga" requires more than talent; it demands nerve, vision, and a profound emotional compass. Zohara brings all three to the table, and then some. Her version of "Jóga" isn't just a tribute; it's a transformation. What elevates this cover beyond artistry is the intention behind it. In an era when cultural barriers are growing higher, Zohara uses music as a bridge. Her heritage, Moroccan, Arabic, Israeli, pours into the sound, not as politics, but as presence.

Zohara pulls you into a new world: one where Icelandic drama meets the rich warmth of Arabic and Middle Eastern textures. It's not a cover that mimics; it reinterprets, through her lens, her lineage and her lived experience, and the result is stunning. And though "Jóga" is just one moment in her evolving catalog, it's a powerful one. Zohara makes it clear: she's not chasing genre, she's building language. 

"I had this strange certainty for years that one day I'd cover it," she says, and thank goodness she listened to that instinct. Crafted in the chaos of a packed tour schedule and perfected alone in her studio, the song carries both urgency and intimacy. Zohara doesn't just sing "Jóga"; she inhabits it, letting new grooves breathe through old lines and hitting the song's dramatic climax with goosebump-inducing precision. With more music on the way, a solo project gaining momentum, and performances with Oi Va Voi on the horizon, Zohara is carving a space where boldness and beauty can co-exist.
