Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Gabriel Teodros, host of Early on KEXP, is "Dessiné" by Zap Mama, a 2022 self-released single.
A French poem set to song, the latest from Belgian artist Marie Daulne (better known as Zap Mama) is a vibrant expression of love. "Dessiné" loosely translates to "drawn," and the lyrics capture a person sketching the facial features of the one they love. It's the first single from her forthcoming full-length Odyssée, which will be released this fall.
