PREMIERE: International Star & Refugee SHAB Returns With Highly-Anticipated New Single ‘Say It With Your Chest’
Ahead of the highly anticipated February 12th release of her sophomore album, ‘One Suitcase’, global pop sensation SHAB kicks off 2025 in style with her latest single, ‘Say It With Your Chest’. Released today, and co-written with Damon Sharpe (J-Lo, Kylie Minogue) and JHart (Kygo, Justin Bieber), this powerful anthem blends seductive melodies with empowering lyrics, serving as a bold statement piece that paves the way for SHAB’s exciting next chapter.
‘Say It With Your Chest’ combines hypnotic strings, signature percussion and crashing drums, all elevated by SHAB’s distinctive smoky vocals. Paired with an electrifying music video, the rising star showcases her commanding and charismatic presence, featuring dynamic choreography and a stunning array of outfits that reflect her vibrant and energetic approach to crafting hits.
‘Say It With Your Chest’ is the third single from the upcoming 21-track album ‘One Suitcase,’ founded upon her personal journey of escaping radical fundamentalism in Iran to forging a new mindset and life in America. This powerful narrative, combined with a distinct fusion of musical influences, covers profound themes of love, resilience and self-discovery – and rapidly propelling SHAB from unimaginable hardship towards global stardom.
‘ONE SUITCASE’ is a double volume that stands as a profound reflection of the artist’s incredible life story. SHAB arrived alone as a young teenager in New York, speaking no English and carrying all of her worldly possessions in a single hand-carried suitcase. While fluent in Farsi & German, she learned English while in secondary school while working three different jobs, graduating from university but also briefly attending law school. Following upon her commitment to pursue writing and performing music full-time. SHAB has since become a leading entertainment industry voice for women’s rights in Iran and in bold defiance of what she has labelled ‘the gangster regime’ in Tehran.
The past two years have been transformational for SHAB, cementing her status as a formidable force in pop. Her collaboration with the legendary hip-hop artist Fat Joe on the hit single ‘VooDoo’ became a sensation, breaking into the Top 40 on both the Rhythmic and Pop Music charts. The track, a brilliant blend of SHAB’s debut single ‘Spell on Me’ and Fat Joe’s iconic ‘Lean Back,’ became the most Shazamed song on Apple Music during the weeks after its release. This achievement was preceded by the release of her Latin-flavoured single ‘Dolce Vita’ as well as her superpower-charged anthem to individual female empowerment, ‘Indestructible’, both of which rapidly gained currency on the European club scene. With ‘Say It With Your Chest,’ SHAB is set to continue this streak, making 2025 her year.
SHAB first gained attention in the Western Hemisphere in late 2020, when her earliest releases earned her the label “breakout star of the global pandemic.” During the lockdown, SHAB scored an impressive five consecutive #2 rankings on the Music Week British Commercial Pop Charts. SHAB’s debut album, ‘Infinite Love’, received immediate critical acclaim, with critics describing her unique electronic dance sound as “energising global pop that is both effortless and memorable.”
These remarkable achievements—combined with over 25 million YouTube views, 13 million Spotify streams and a rapidly growing global fanbase—attest to her talent and skill to consistently create chart-topping hits. She has seen recent press on the covers of FHM & Marie Claire and as featured in Wonderland, Daily Mirror, Daily Express, The Independent, Big Issue, HotPress, and METAL Magazine.
SHAB has also shone brightly on the live stage, beginning with her first international performances during 2022 on a 25-date European tour. She followed this trek during 2023 with her first-ever arena tour, opening for JLS on an 18-date tour of Ireland and Britain, including two sold-out dates at The O2 in London.
With ‘Say It With Your Chest,’ SHAB continues her meteoric ascent, welcoming in the new year with an undeniable hit as excitement for ‘One Suitcase’ reaches new heights. Get ready to Say It With Your Chest!

Scottish producer BETH returns on The Cross Records with new single Wait, following a breakout 2026 of festival slots, Ibiza dates and Radio 1 support.
In the space of a year, BETH has gone from respected up and comer to a genuine festival act. Her debut on The Cross Records, “Keep It Movin’,” is closing in on 1 million streams, and she’s kept up a steady run of releases on labels like TSHA’s Jackfruit, Eats Everything’s Edible, and Melon Bomb Records, along with a well received remix of Karen Harding’s “Island.” That output has earned her support on BBC Radio 1, with plays from Sarah Story and Arielle Free.
Her live schedule has kept pace too. This year she’s played TRNSMT Festival, Sub Club, Cabaret Voltaire, and SWG3 in Scotland, Mas Que Nada in London, and Lakota in Bristol, plus Ibiza dates at Hï, Cova Santa, and Pikes.
“Wait” marks a step forward in her production. Where “Keep It Movin'” leaned into sultry, harmonic melodies, “Wait” goes bigger and brighter, built around euphoric piano chords, a driving 90s inspired break, and deep reese bass. It’s a feel good summer record from an artist whose rise shows no signs of slowing down.

Deadlynoiz is consistently looking to evolve his productions and has leaned into more experimental territories here with emphatic results.
His development as an artist is evident from both his productions and his accolades as he’s attracted the attention of LVLD Music. He’s dropped a slew of hits with them and is continuing to develop their relationship with the release of ‘Rock The House’ on their label. Since it’s release the track has already raked in thousands of streams and he’s pushed onto releasing even more music in ‘Magic’ and ‘Block.’ Now bringing in over 20,000 streams a month on Spotify it’s clear that Deadlynoiz’s hard work is paying off as his fanbase continues to grow.
‘Rock The House’ is another step forward in Deadlynoiz’s evolution in sound and development as an artist. With every release he’s proving his abilities in the studio and with the rate he’s working at, there’s plenty more to come.
