Singles, B‑Sides, Lost Recordings, Instrumentals, & Demos: 2010–2017 is a rare compilation album that documents the earliest creative years of Zingerman and the foundational songwriting partnership between Allison Salazar and Arturo Gómez (Kota). Released in 2010 under Z&ZM Records (Zingerman & Zingerman Music), the album blends rock, ballad, and experimental elements, offering listeners a glimpse into the raw beginnings of the label’s catalog.

​

The record is notable for containing the very first love songs written by Allison and Arturo at the start of their careers, capturing youthful emotion and unpolished brilliance. Tracks such as “Me Voy,” “Paso a Paso,” “Fernanda,” and “Tú Eres Todo lo Que Quiero” became the first true “hits” for Z&ZM Records, following the success of Suspirando. These songs not only highlight Zingerman’s early artistry but also mark the emergence of Allison and Arturo as songwriters whose work would later define the label’s identity.

​

With its mix of demos, instrumentals, and unreleased recordings, the album serves as both a historical archive and a creative statement. It preserves the spirit of experimentation and intimacy that characterized the early 2010s, while showcasing the seeds of the musical vision that would grow into Z&ZM’s distinctive sound.

 

Singles, B‑Sides, Lost Recordings, Instrumentals, & Demos: 2010–2017 remains a memorial collection—an essential document of beginnings, first collaborations, and the genesis of a musical journey that continues to resonate.
