Zoë is the debut album by Australian singer Zoë Badwi. It was recorded over a span of nearly three years. It was finally released after her breakthrough single "Freefallin" reached the top 10 of the ARIA Singles Charts. Five of Zoë's six singles are featured on the album.
Cyclone Wehner from The Herald Sun gave the album 4 out of 5 saying; "Melbourne's Zoe Badwi is bringing back the Euro-pop diva with her unpretentious debut." and while complementing the 'club bangers', said ""One Step Behind" is eerie underground "prog" house and "Believe You" is a splendid piano ballad Mariah Carey would covet." concluding it sounds like "music for a big Friday night".[1]
Released as her debut single in later 2008, the single was a massive club smash hit, and peaked at #1 on the ARIA Club Chart. It was also nominated for two ARIA Awards in 2009. It failed to chart on the Top 100 Singles Chart.
Released in October 2009, the song was another club hit, but like her previous single failed to reach the ARIA Singles chart.
Released in July 2010, Freefallin is considered as her breakthrough single. Reaching #8 on the Singles Chart.[2] It is nominated for the 2011 ARIA awards as Breakthrough single.
Released in January 2011, the single was another club hit, and had a fair amount of radio play, but failed to live up to its predecessor's hit status. It peaked at #71 on the Singles chart.
Carry Me Home was released as the album's fifth single a month before the album's release. It failed to reach the singles chart, but was another club and radio hit.
