LISTEN: Shab, Preston Harris – It's On You
'It's On You' feels warm in a way that only the best pop songs do — SHAB and Preston Harris just sound like two people actually in the same room, not performing at each other. The Afro House production sits low and easy underneath them, smoky yet dizzily melodic.
The secret behind the song's power is how it manages to marry intimacy with global pop ambition – something that SHAB has proved capable of over and over. From escaping the fundamentalist regime in Iran as a teenager to global hits and features in leading outlets, SHAB has come a long way, and her voice carries the kind of ease you only get when you've already done the hard part.
