ZOOLOOK® Turns Empathy Into a Movement on "Power of the People (Remix)"

If all songs sounded the same then there would have been no need for varieties. Whilst some songs try to be cool, and others try to be deep. “Power of the People (Remix)” by ZOOLOOK® doesn’t try at all. It just walks into the room, clears its throat, and says something that actually matters. Like why try and be something or hide behind something trying to achieve something, when you can actually just achieve that. So just do it. If we gonna keep the “trying” things going, then it’s more like doing nothing, are we gonna sit there and watch others suffer, when we can actually do something??

Well ZOOLOOK® drops this remix like a reminder taped to a city wall. It is calm, steady, and serious without sounding like a lecture. Nobody likes being yelled at by a song before coffee. But man’s gotta do something, we can’t let a sh!t show keep going and watch it, when we all will reap it benefits one day or losses.

The song which was released in June 2025, this version of “Power of the People” feels well-timed and well-earned. It pulls from the past but keeps its feet planted in the now. You can hear the love for older protest music right away. Think back to when songs were allowed to care about the world without being awkward about it.

What I love most is how the groove moves slow and confident. It has soul in its bones, you could feel the bass sitting comfortably, allowing the keys to drift in with purpose, not just showing off, holds the mood together, making everything feel intentional. Whilst the song progresses, you hear one line that does the heavy lifting “Can you see yourself through me?” It is simple. It is direct and actually questions our humanity!

It lands like a quiet question that keeps replaying in your head after the track ends. That line alone could start an argument, a conversation, or a long walk home thinking about life. So can you hear your neighbor through you? Can you see them as yourself? Will you defend them as you’d for yourself? Can we start standing up for each other rather than picking up a phone and recording whilst people get abused? What happened to our society? Soo many things that has gone wrong could have been right, if we stood together. The power belongs to us, but we let the men in suit take us for granted and do with it what they want.

Something beautiful is how ZOOLOOK® uses that question to talk about empathy without sounding preachy. The song speaks about immigration hate, injustice, and power, but it does it with warmth instead of anger. It invites you in instead of pointing fingers. I love the look of this remix, how it leans into this vintage feel without turning into a costume party. You can hear touches of old-school soul and that dreamy, slightly trippy mood from the 1970s, then those funky elements sweeping your feet away. But it never feels stuck there.

It feels like yesterday and today having a respectful conversation. We can make it work, if we see each other through the other and not just be selfish. I love the feel of life in this track, it’s more of a soundtrack that carries such a powerful message. That is very creative and a good way to pass a powerful message across. In as much as the song brings this calm nature and feel to it, you can actually dance with it too, where you can shake off some of life’s chaos away and love each other. Bringing people together and creating a better community.

ZOOLOOK® did something here and I love it. The moment you listen to the song, you feel something refreshing about hearing activism that still grooves. You can nod your head to this. You can play it late at night. You can play it while thinking. You could even play it while doing dishes and suddenly feel like a better human. That’s range. And he really cooked this remix not gonna lie, the remix allows the song to breathe, giving listeners room to reflect on such situations where they could have been a better human.

We’ve become soo self centered that we often take people’s kind gestures as “mind your business, I can take care of ma child”. This is a strong message from ZOOLOOK® in an era where everything feels divided. And he does goes in to prove that meaningful music does not need all the flames and noise. If there’s honesty, patience, and a groove that won’t keep bothering you, then we can enjoy it all together.

Overall “Power of the People (Remix)” does not pretend music can fix everything. But it keeps us grounded and hit us with realities we’ve forgotten, whilst reminding us that unity is still possible, and empathy is not in the past. Feel for a brother as you’d feel for yourself, care for another person’s child as you’d for yours
