Ooberfuse’s ‘Zeeba Da Boo (Why oh Why)’ is A Playful Anthem for Chasing Dreams

London-based electronic pop duo Ooberfuse (Cherrie Anderson and Hal St John) deliver a sun-drenched nostalgia trip with their infectiously quirky new single “Zeeba Da Boo (Why oh Why)”. The track pays playful homage to Hal’s jazz heritage – his father’s trumpet-playing legacy echoing through the song’s retro swing – while firmly planting one foot in contemporary dancefloors with its pulsing electronic grooves.

This is summer music with a wink: vintage brass stabs and scat-inspired vocal hooks (“Zeeba Da Boo” itself channeling Louis Armstrong’s playful spirit) collide with crisp modern production. The result feels like stumbling upon a secret garden where 1920s speakeasies and 2020s Ibiza clubs coexist – all swaying palms and champagne bubbles with an underlying four-to-the-floor heartbeat. Anderson’s vocals glide between jazz-age charm and pop precision, particularly when delivering the song’s central thesis about “chasing dreams and embracing the light within” with the breezy conviction of someone who knows this anthem will soundtrack festival sunsets.

The track’s genius lies in its refusal to be pigeonhole – too joyfully eccentric for straightforward dance-pop, too rhythmically sharp for mere pastiche. As they prepare to support DJ Judge Jules and Symphonic Ibiza this summer, Ooberfuse has crafted not just a song, but a mood: the musical equivalent of finding a vintage trumpet in a neon-lit nightclub and discovering it still plays perfect pitch.

With ‘Zeeba Da Boo (Why oh Why),’ Ooberfuse deliver a dazzling collision of eras—swing-era sass meets Ibiza pulse in a euphoric burst of jazz-pop alchemy.
