Zach Tabori takes a bite out of the Big Apple on cynical, genre-twisting new single ‘NYC’
While Zach Tabori’s ‘Attack of the Clout Chasers’ rages against digital vanity and cultural collapse, one of its sharpest cuts comes in the form of ‘NYC’, a sardonic love letter to the American metropolis most mythologised, monetised, and misunderstood.
Nestled within the album’s sprawling sonic chaos, ‘NYC’ offers a wry, whip-smart takedown of the city’s contradictions. It’s equal parts affection and disillusionment: an outsider’s ode that skewers gentrified grit, influencer delusion, and the exhausting myth of New York exceptionalism. Tabori, never one to settle into a single genre, threads jazz-funk grooves with theatrical vocals and dizzying tempo shifts, creating a track as chaotic and relentless as the city it’s about.
Laced with biting humour and surreal lyricism, ‘NYC’ plays like a late-night subway hallucination where irony and sincerity blur, and the dream of the city never quite matches the rent.
