zer0 is the second studio album by American electronic dance music duo Krewella. It was released on January 31, 2020, on their independent label Mixed Kids Records. It was Krewella's first album since their debut album Get Wet in 2013, and their first since the departure of Kris "Rain Man" Trindl in 2014. [2] It was preceded by four singles, "Mana", "Ghost", "Good On You" (w/ Nucleya) and "Greenlights".

Background

Krewella's previous body of work was an extended play titled "New World Pt. 1" released on June 8 2017. The second part was initially set to release later that year, [3] and various singles were released in the following months, including the titular "New World" with Yellow Claw. [4]

The first single "Mana" was released on August 22, 2019, alongside a music video created by French creator Gabyo. [5] The second single, "Ghost", was released on October 18.

On December 3, 2019, alongside the release of the album's third single "Good On You", Krewella announced their sophomore album "zer0" set to release on January 31, 2020. In an interview with Billboard, they stated that the album had evolved from the initial New World pt. 2 concept, with Jahan stating that they "ended up going above and beyond what a Pt. II EP would seem like. It felt like something bigger or more meaningful." [6]

The fourth and final single "Greenlights" was released on January 17, 2020, two weeks before the album's release. The song was also used in a campaign for fitness brand Orangetheory. [7]

They also explain the concept of "zero", describing it as the place in between extreme emotions, and finding balance in their careers;

"It's been extremely high highs to extremely low lows. It's taking so much time out of our lives to go tour, and then go back to a lonely hotel room. It's all these crazy things existing together, and that place that Jahan is talking about in the middle, that place called zero, is what we've tried to dig out of ourselves; where the pendulum has stopped swinging from left to right and settles in the middle." [6]

The album draws heavily on the members' Pakistani and multi-cultural heritage. [8] They stated they wanted to "scour the globe for influences for collaborators" [6] ; the album includes collaborations with Indian producer Nucleya, Pakistani singer Asim Azhar, American rapper Baby Tate, Spanish singer Alaya, and American singer Arrested Youth.

A headline tour was announced for the album, set to begin in April 2020 and included 13 shows across the United States, [9] however it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [10] They partnered with Insomniac Events to create the "zer0 Live Concert Experience" on November 27, 2020; it consisted of a live-streamed live DJ set from Krewella and featured support from SHIVARASA and REAPER.
