ZHANGYE, one of the leading figures in Chinese electronic music, teams up with Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter Justin Jesso to release their new single “Growing Up.” Distributed by Cyanhill Music, the introspective yet soaring dance pop single is available on all streaming platforms HERE.

Their new single, “Growing Up,” co-written and produced by ZHANGYE and Justin Jesso in Los Angeles, blends ZHANGYE’s signature production style with Jesso’s powerful, emotive vocals. The track explores the journey of personal growth, navigating choices, tension, and eventual reconciliation. With honest and delicate writing, it portrays the search for “balance” amidst chaos, framing growth not as pain or triumph but as a natural “rhythm of life.” Through dynamic melodies, the song transforms the struggles and release of growing up into a gentle yet soaring expression of life and hope.

“Working with ZHANGYE was a wonderful experience. We both hope this song can evoke a sense of ‘balance’ within listeners, and inspire them to gently embrace every stage of life.” – Justin Jesso

“Justin Jesso’s voice infuses this song about growth with profound soul and resonance. I hope ‘Growing Up’ can accompany everyone who is seeking strength along their personal journey.” – ZHANGYE

Recognized as one of the most influential figures in China’s electronic music scene in recent years, ZHANGYE has been making significant strides on the international stage. In October, he released the collaborative single “Where Do We Go” with Steve Aoki, and in November, as the initiator of CHINA EDM Vol.2, he launched a global open call exclusively for Chinese female DJs and producers, further highlighting the vitality and global potential of Chinese electronic music.

Following the global success of CHINA EDM Vol.1 in 2024, Cyanhill Music and founder ZHANGYE announce the launch of CHINA EDM Vol.2, a groundbreaking all-female Chinese electronic music compilation. This edition is exclusively open to Chinese female producers and DJs, celebrating their rising presence on major stages, international festivals, and in innovative musical fusion. Building on the first compilation’s global recognition, CHINA EDM Vol.2 aims to shine a spotlight on exceptional talent while maintaining the highest standards of musical quality, marking a historic moment for Chinese electronic music worldwide. Submissions are open until January 18, 2026 (GMT+8).

ZHANGYE and Steve Aoki’s “Where Do We Go” is a high-octane journey through the golden era of Future Bass with a modern twist. Opening with an emotionally charged Dance-Pop verse and building into a dynamic Future Bass drop, the track layers Wobble Chords with a Melodic Trap Lead to create a rich, unforgettable sound. Born from a shared vision and instant creative connection, this collaboration blends timeless textures with raw energy, making “Where Do We Go” a track destined to ignite dance floors and spark limitless musical possibilities.

How the “Skin & Bones” Music Video Translates SHAB’s Personal History Into a Visual Narrative

The music video for Skin & Bones opens by framing the song through SHAB’s own words, using on-screen text to establish the personal context behind its creation. The opening statements reference the period in late 2019, when SHAB’s career was beginning and her husband was critically injured in a car accident, followed by months focused on recovery. From there, the video moves between images of the accident and quieter moments of daily life, intercut with scenes of SHAB singing. This structure creates a clear contrast between intimacy and disruption, allowing the visual narrative to reflect the emotional foundation of the song without embellishment. Rather than repositioning the track, the video clarifies its origin, reinforcing how personal history remains central to Skin & Bones across both its original version and the Damon Sharpe remix context.

Shared Context Between SHAB and Damon Sharpe at the Point of Creation

The relationship between SHAB and Damon Sharpe predates the remix, which gives the visual and musical continuity of Skin & Bones a clear foundation. Damon Sharpe was involved during the original writing process, giving him direct awareness of the circumstances that shaped the song before it was translated into other formats. This shared context matters in the way both the remix and the music video unfold, as neither attempts to reinterpret the song’s meaning or redirect its narrative. Instead, the video’s restrained visual language and the remix’s measured production choices reflect an understanding of the song’s emotional boundaries. Because both contributors were present at the song’s inception, the final result feels aligned rather than additive, allowing Skin & Bones to move across visual and electronic spaces without losing its original intent.

Reframing Skin & Bones as a Continuous Creative Statement

Taken together, the music video and the Damon Sharpe remix position Skin & Bones as an evolving work rather than a fixed release. The video grounds the song in lived experience through its restrained visual narrative, while the remix allows it to exist within electronic settings without separating it from that context. Neither format seeks to redefine the track. Instead, each extends the same emotional framework through different forms of expression. By maintaining consistency between image, vocal delivery, and production approach, SHAB reinforces a creative throughline that prioritizes honesty over reinvention. In this sense, Skin & Bones functions as a single statement that moves across music, remix, and visual storytelling without losing coherence, reflecting an approach where personal history remains central regardless of format.

Where Skin & Bones Sits Within SHAB’s Broader Catalogue

Within SHAB’s body of work, Skin & Bones stands out for the clarity with which personal experience is carried across different formats. The music video makes its origin explicit through narrative and imagery, while the Damon Sharpe remix extends the song’s reach without altering its emotional foundation. Rather than existing as an isolated moment, the track reflects an approach that prioritizes continuity between songwriting, production, and visual storytelling. This alignment positions Skin & Bones as part of a broader artistic trajectory in which collaboration and format are used to support meaning rather than redefine it. In doing so, SHAB reinforces a catalogue shaped by lived experience, where reinterpretation functions as extension rather than departure.

Skin & Bones remains grounded because each format stays aligned with the same emotional center. The music video presents the song’s origin through direct narrative and restrained imagery, while the Damon Sharpe remix allows it to move into electronic settings without detaching from that context. Rather than reshaping the track for effect, SHAB maintains continuity across music, visual storytelling, and collaboration, reinforcing an approach where reinterpretation functions as extension rather than substitution.
