Toronto-based artist Sabby
Sousa is no longer a stranger to the digital music realm. Her effervescent pop
smash “Cream N’ Frosting” became a viral hit on both Spotify and iTunes
Philippines and the rest of Asia. It charted inside the top 50 for weeks due to
its unexpected popularity on short form video platform, TikTok.
Among the Filipino
celebrities who joined the dance craze are Hello
Stranger star Tony Labrusca, GMA
7 actor Miguel Tanfelix,
alt-rock icon Rico Blanco,
actress and social media influencer Chie Filomeno, YouTube sensation Mona Alawi,
and teen star Jillian Ward.
After a short hiatus, the
hyper-pop hitmaker returns this year with a nostalgic R&B single that
tackles a story of romantic relationship gone astray. Her new single “Emerald”
drops today on all digital platforms worldwide.
Sabby shares the inspiration
behind her new track. “I had gone through a breakup and didn't want to write
anything sad or angry. I wanted to remember what it felt like in those moments
and hold them close. It reminded me that not all relationships are meant to
last forever. What lasts forever is the memories you make. So live life to the
fullest.”
Produced by French Canadian
electronic duo House of Wolf, “Emerald” inhabits an optimistic headspace that
values emotional maturity over impulsive demeanor. With her syrupy vocals
complementing the track’s atmospheric sonic backdrop, Sabby remembers her past
relationship fondly, setting aside bitterness for a peace of mind.
This time, she mines a wistful
narrative straight from a journal entry: confessional in form and function, but
also hopeful in the way it was written and delivered. “There's a lot of
electric guitar and synths that make the song so dreamy,” Sabby Sousa adds. “I
would definitely say, it's a lot different to previous songs as it marks the
beginning of a new sound for me.”
Recorded in August last
year, the infectious jam sounds like a star turn from a young artist who is now
ready to take the spotlight and make a lightning strike, one more time.
