Eva Zakula’s “Be Ye Lil Gods” is built on honesty and exploration. Instead of trying to fit neatly into one lane, she pulls from soul, funk, R&B, and experimental sounds to create something personal and representative of Eva’s exceptional style. Each track carries a piece of her story, offering listeners a view of where she’s been and where she’s going as an artist. The result is a record that puts expression above all else, without losing its sense of purpose.
The album begins with “High,” a track full of energy that immediately introduces Zakula’s confidence and groove. “Scorpio” slows the pace, leaning toward a more atmospheric sound that shows her range. “Beautiful” shifts toward a more upbeat mood, placing her voice at the center and letting emotion guide the music.
The balance between upbeat and stripped-down moments gives “Be Ye Lil Gods” a natural flow, keeping it engaging from start to finish.
One of the album’s most memorable tracks is “If You’re Human.” The song is straightforward but powerful, built around the idea of embracing vulnerability and love. Later, “Play It On Loud” brings a seductive energy, proving Zakula isn’t afraid to let loose and have fun with her music.

Zakula describes the process of making “Be Ye Lil Gods” as one of unlearning, stripping away rules and expectations to focus on what really matters in music. She credits her growth to influences ranging from Stevie Wonder to System of a Down, but instead of copying anyone’s sound, she focused on what made those artists timeless: honesty. That mindset comes through in the album’s mix of styles, where the songs may shift in mood and texture, but the sense of authenticity remains constant.
“Be Ye Lil Gods” showcases Eva Zakula just figuring things out in real time and sharing that process openly. The record is confident without being overproduced and experimental without being inaccessible. A true work of art that is worth experiencing.
