World-pop artist SHAB is renowned for blending her lived personal experiences with sharp, anthemic pop – a fusion that sets her apart from the crowd. Now, she raises the bar emotionally with a contemplative reimagining of ‘Skin & Bones’, brought to new life by producer Damon Sharpe.
The track has the energy and rhythm to pull any listener onto the dance floor: euphoric drops, swirling vocals, and chiming synths abound. Yet there’s an aching melancholy throughout, highlighted by the profound lyric: “Without your soul, I’m just skin and bones”.
Written after her partner was critically injured in a highway car accident in their hometown of Dallas, the song captures that horror and the realization of life’s fragility. While it reflects on the trauma she experienced in that moment, it gradually evolves into a heartfelt expression of love and resilience – crafting an anthem of gratitude, survival, and unwavering commitment.
With ‘Skin & Bones (Damon Sharpe Remix)’, SHAB offers a stirring new take on a soulful standout in her discography. Following a U.S. Top 40 hit and a tour with the revived UK boy band The Wanted 2.0, she continues to redefine her passionate and deeply human approach to pop.
