There are few artists that can claim to have had as torrid of a journey to the top as Persian singer/songwriter Shab. She’s gone on a long and winding journey all the way from being a refugee to becoming a world-renowned pop star. After releasing her amazing album ‘One Suitcase’ earlier this year featuring the standout track ‘Dirty’, the world’s now being graced with 5 new sensational spins on the song.
It’s clear that fans love the original track as it has now received over half a million streams on Spotify, so why not have some more of it? This set of remixes offers up a great collection of different styles that see ‘Dirty’ take on whole new vibes from each artist. From Beyond Chicago’s deep house twist to the big room elements injected by Dave Audé, each version is packed with club energy. For those that like a bit of funky feel, ManyFew and Wilson’s remix has it in spades while Cutmore’s spin on ‘Dirty’ is full of excellent percussion and chunky bass. There’s even a bit of UK garage in the mix from SHOSH which is a fantastically unique addition to this set of expertly crafted remixes.
After Shab and her family were targeted for persecution, they had to flee their home country of Iran and seek political asylum in America. But the night is always dark before the dawn and Shab found her dawn in music where she channelled her experiences into her wonderful ‘One Suitcase’ album. This album was not only a way of voicing her journey, but also for making a change as all profits from it are going to ‘Choose Love’, a charity that provides vital aid to refugees. With her donations in addition to her position as an ambassador for ‘Choose Love’ alongside the likes of Oprah, Benedict Cumberbatch, Julia Roberts, and Olivia Colman, she is making a difference. Her dedication is worthy of recognition and admiration.
With buckets of talent, over 25 million YouTube views, 13 million Spotify streams, and the drive to make a change in the world, Shab is definitely an artist worth following. The work of Dave Audé, Cutmore, ManyFew & Wilson, SHOSH, and Beyond Chicago on these remixes is phenomenal and should earn them and Shab some much deserved attention.
