Zoey Beardsley
Zoey Beardsley grew up in New York, writing songs in her bedroom and playing them for anyone who’d listen. She spent years finding her sound, mixing big rock hooks with pop melodies that hit different. ‘Not That Type of Girl’ is that sound, finally out in the world. Every lyric, every riff, every vocal take came from her, recorded in small studios across the city with a clear mission: write the song you can’t stop replaying. This is her first release, not her last.
Sound that sticks
Pat Benatar's roar
That gravel-and-honey vocal punch you hear on 'Not That Type of Girl'? That's Benatar. First tape I wore out.
Joan Jett's middle finger
Three chords and an attitude that says 'watch me.' Jett taught me you don't ask for the stage — you take it.
The Strokes' New York
That snare crack that sounds like a subway door closing. The city is in every riff, and I want my songs to feel like a late-night walk through the Village.
Paramore's heart on sleeve
Hayley Williams showed me you can be loud and honest at the same time. My lyrics try to do the same — no hiding.
Hole's grit
The raw, messy energy of Live Through This. Not polished. Not polite. That's the energy I chase in every recording session.
What They're Saying
The energy in 'Not That Type of Girl' hits like a brick through glass. Fresh, loud, and exactly what rock pop needed in 2026.

Zoey writes the way we all wish we could — like she's got something real to say and no time for games.

First listen stopped me mid-step. Second listen had me hitting repeat. That's how you know it's the real thing.

Rare to hear a debut that already sounds like it belongs in heavy rotation. Big future ahead for this one.
