sound while embracing a more melodic, techno-infused vibe that brings it into the contemporary
soundscape of 2023. On the single, Eli & Fur said: “We wrote ‘You’re So High’ together 10 years ago. It was at thevery beginning of our career and it came purely from the heart. We wanted to create something infectious and emotional—featuring our own vocals—that would also be a moment on the dancefloor, something we still strive to do today. The original will always be the original, but we loved reworking the song that started it all and breathing fresh life into it.
Joy Denalane – Fly By

Zoe Wees – Sorry For The Drama
Superstar-in-the-making Zoe Wees has returned with her stunning new single ‘Sorry For The Drama’ which serves as a heartfelt apology to her mother who raised her in a single-parent home. Speaking about the track, Zoe said: ““I wrote “Sorry For The Drama” for my mum so I could apologise. I was really mean to her when I was a kid and I just wanted to say sorry. I always wanted to have things that we couldn´t have and she couldn´t afford but she was trying so hard and I didn´t really see it. What I took away from it is that we must treat our mums with more respect and help them. This song means so much and I hope a lot of people take a lot of energy from it. Also writing this song with my friends was very easy and felt very magical and I hope you feel it too when you are listening to it.”
