Nigerian artist TuNaCious released his most personal and emotional single yet, titled “Zillow.” The song captures a raw, heartbreaking story of love, loss, and the unexpected consequences that followed the death of his beloved cat, Zillow.
More than just a song, “Zillow” is a deeply confessional record a tribute wrapped in melancholy melodies and poetic truth. In the first verse, TuNaCious recounts the painful moment he found his cat lifeless, poisoned under mysterious circumstances. The chorus serves as a touching eulogy, expressing how Zillow was “more than just a cat,” but a companion and source of quiet comfort.
The second verse takes a darker turn, revealing how grief spiraled into chaos when a neighbor who TuNaCious accused of harming his cat retaliated, leading to his wrongful arrest by the Nigerian police under accusations of cyberbullying. What followed was a whirlwind of pain, disbelief, and emotional exhaustion all now immortalized in song.
Through “Zillow,” TuNaCious transforms personal tragedy into sonic healing. His vocal delivery carries the ache of someone who’s lost more than a pet . he’s lost peace, trust, and innocence. Yet, beneath the sorrow lies resilience. The production is great but haunting, allowing every lyric to resonate deeply.
“This one came straight from my heart,” TuNaCious says. “Zillow was family and losing him broke something in me. Music was the only way I could speak without losing my mind.”
With “Zillow,” TuNaCious once again proves his strength as a storyteller, blending reality and rhythm in a way that invites empathy and reflection. The track is a testament to how personal pain can be transformed into powerful art.
