Zedd Drops Telos Album With Finishing Touches and New Hope”/>

AFTER nine years without releasing an album, Zedd finally released his third album, Telos, on August 30.

The 10-track album features guest appearances from John Mayer, Muse, Remi Wolf, Bea Miller and more, and its title has a double meaning for the Grammy winner.

“Another meaning of Telos is ‘the end,’ and I, for a moment, thought maybe this would be the last piece of music I would ever release,” Zedd tells PEOPLE of the Greek term.

“I was completely exhausted, I was burned out, and musically I felt like I had poured my entire soul into this album and had nothing else to say.”

Though the “Clarity” artist went nearly a decade between albums, she stayed busy during that time, touring consistently and scoring several major hits, including “Stay” with Alessia Cara and “The Middle” with Maren Morris and Grey.

When creating the new album, Zedd set out to create a project with a narrative connecting each song and a unique sound that blends orchestral and electronic genres. “I really wanted this album to be perfect, and that took a lot of hard work,” he says.

Luckily, he’s changed his mind since finishing Telos. “I’ve had a little bit of time to breathe,” he says. “I’ve started writing new music, so I’m happy to say it’s not over yet.”

The album is preceded by two singles, “Out of Time” with Miller and “Lucky” with Wolf — for which Zedd recently collaborated with Intel to create an interactive AI experience that brings the Telos cover to life.

After nearly releasing a full project without a title track, Zedd realized his fans wanted an early sneak peek and carefully selected the two songs to introduce the world of Telos.

“‘Out of Time’ sets the tone. It’s the beginning of the album, and it really has a little bit of everything. There’s the theatrical elements, the drops, the really emotional, powerful vocals,” he explains. “I think ‘Lucky’ is more of the fun pop side of the album, and everything else on the album lives in between those two worlds.”

Making this album was a grueling process for Zedd, but the thought of nearly releasing Telos as a career finale is part of what makes this final project so satisfying to share with listeners.

“If you know something is going to be the last thing you do, you better make it perfect,” he said. “Part of the perfection I saw in this album came from feeling like, ‘This might be my legacy. I have to do exactly what I want to do with this album.'” (People/Z-3)

Vilnius Book Fair 2025: A Page-Turning Celebration of Literary Beauty

Lolita Varanavičienė, head of the publishing house “Tyto Alba” and one of the first organizers of the Vilnius Book Fair, remembered the growth of the fair, its first years and was happy that the event attracts new visitors, is constantly renewing itself, while remaining faithful to the usual forms of events loved by visitors – meetings with authors , discussion club, short chat program “Shorts”.

From an event whose original purpose was to sell books, the Vilnius Book Fair has become a huge cultural event, a festival where over 500 cultural events are held for visitors with various interests. She also presented organizational changes – the 25th Vilnius Book Fair will be organized by the Lithuanian Publishers Association, AGATA and the Lithuanian Exhibition and Congress Center LITEXPO.

“The music hall has become an integral part of the Vilnius Book Fair, and the future topic is relevant for both writers and music creators: we invite you to the fair with the slogan “Kukutis goes to the fair”, said Lolita Varanavičienė.

“Kukutis is a literary character and at the same time the author’s second-in-command, which Marcelijus Martinaitis told us about in “Kukutis ballades”. Kukutis is at the same time very cute and somehow (despite his strangeness) relatable. Perhaps Kukutis is not as important to those born and raised in free Lithuania as it is to me. Maybe some people don’t know him at all. However, this is not really a problem. It’s worth getting to know Kukučius, hearing the stories he tells and meeting him at the Book Fair,” said Aurim Švedas, a cultural historian and one of the members of the Fair’s organizing committee.

Gytis Vaškelis, head of the publishing center of the Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore, said that for him this theme is one of the most beautiful during the entire period of the Fair’s existence.

We hope that getting to know Kukučius will enrich everyone who came to the Vilnius Book Fair in 2025. Let this character, who asks questions and is not afraid to act unpredictably, who has the courage to question eternal truths and can say what he really thinks without hesitation, become an inspiration to everyone waiting for the 25th Vilnius Book Fair.

The 25th Vilnius Book Fair “Kukutis goes to the fair” will be held from February 27 to March 2, 2025 at the Lithuanian Exhibition and Congress Center LITEXPO.
