Rising star ABISHA links up with Jess Bays in a brand new reimagined version of “Numb”
The original track, which premiered on Complex and was featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday UK, provided an introspective space for its listeners to power through dark, lonely moments with an intimate message of hope. The remix received its first spin by on Danny Howard’s Radio Dance Party show and it takes the track to upbeat, reinvigorating heights making it the perfect piece to celebrate the end of another year.
Jess Bays has been making waves for her unlimited creativity and boldness . She hosts her own weekly radio show on Capital Dance and has produced remixes for artists such as Rudimental and Becky Hill. With more than 600k monthly listeners, she has been featured as the cover artist for five of Spotify’s leading playlists and garnered support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing, Kiss & Capital. For ‘Numb,’ she brings her own dancefloor twist to it accentuating its message of optimism through sizzling synths.
ABISHA says; ‘Numb is such a special and important track to me, and it’s an honour to have Jess Bays’ spin on it for the remix! She has given the song a whole new dimension and created an amazing extension of the original track. Jess’ remix moves Numb away from being quite so deep and heavy and gives it a sense of light and optimism, which I love! ‘
Jess Bays adds; ‘It’s crazy how music always seems to mirror how I feel & as soon as I heard the lyrics behind Abisha’s Numb I knew it was something I wanted to work on! Raw, emotional & honest! I knew it needed something like a sultry bass line to really bring the meaning to the forefront for the dance floor! I’m super proud of this one. It’s stripped back, open & deep!’
The track was created with the hope of empowering its listeners to get through the lowest moments. For ABISHA, mental health is a topic she has been delving into further both as an artist and individual. As an ambassador of the non-profit organization MindOut, she has been using her platforms to advocate for LGBTQ+ mental health. Whether it is through music or partnerships, she continues to address causes that are close to her.
ABISHA is ready to embark on a new chapter of her artistry where there are no genre or thematic boundaries for her creativity. For 2022, she will be releasing a new body of work that mirrors a more positive headspace she is in before fully unveiling her new project at the end of Summer. Her upcoming record finds her exploring different sounds and sides of her ever-evolving identity that continue to mesmerize her listeners.
