International Pop Star & Refugee SHAB Returns with ‘AFTERGLOW’, Her Mesmerizing New VideoSHAB - ‘Afterglow’ 23rd of August“If you are in search of a track as gloriously sun-soaked as the day we are currently experiencing, rising artist SHAB has just the thing for you.” - Wonderland “With a huge legion of fans, SHAB has continued to make a name for herself on the international music scene.” - METAL MagazineOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY Fifth Element PR The radiant new video for ‘AFTERGLOW’, by global pop star sensation, SHAB, is set for release on August 23rd. As radiant and alluring as ever, ‘AFTERGLOW’ serves as SHAB’s sun-soaked contemplation on love, celebrating romance and sensuousness in all its glory. Written by Damon Sharpe, SHAB, and JHart, her beautiful, soft melodies confess her everlasting love and passion while featuring funky basslines and infectious rhythms. With production amplified to new heights, ‘AFTERGLOW’ flows with SHAB’s iconic groove of World Pop and sets the stage for an exciting new era in her career development. The single announcement arrived ahead of World Refugee Day on June 20th, underscoring her powerful narrative of resilience and hope. The incredible reality that SHAB fled fundamentalist Iran and arrived alone in New York as a 14-year-old girl speaking no English and carrying all of her worldly possessions in a single hand-carried suitcase. “Using my own journey, I wanted to highlight for others that hope is paramount: and where there lies hope, there also lies a brighter future. A new start is a new opportunity.” A refugee from the authoritarian regime in Iran who came to America speaking only Farsi and German, she learned English as a teenager while working three different jobs. Yet SHAB not only graduated from university but also briefly attended law school before leaving to pursue writing and performing music full-time. She since has become a leading entertainment industry voice for women’s rights in Iran and in bold defiance of what she has labelled ‘the gangster regime’ in Teheran. She is now a rising star across three continents. 2023 was a landmark year for SHAB, cementing her status as a formidable force in pop. Her collaboration with the legendary hip-hop artist Fat Joe on the hit single ‘VOODOO’ became a sensation, breaking into the Top 40 on both the Rhythmic and Pop Music charts. The track, a brilliant blend of SHAB’s debut single ‘SPELL ON ME’ and Fat Joe’s iconic ‘LEAN BACK, became the most Shazamed song on Apple Music during the weeks after its release. This achievement was preceded by the release of her Latin-flavoured single ‘DOLCE VITA’ as well as her superpower-charged anthem to individual female empowerment, ‘INDESTRUCTIBLE’, both of which rapidly gained currency on the European club scene. With ‘AFTERGLOW’, SHAB is set to continue this streak, making 2024 her breakout year. SHAB first gained attention in the Western Hemisphere in late 2020, when her earliest releases earned her the label of “breakout star of the global pandemic.” During the lockdown, SHAB scored an impressive five consecutive #2 rankings on the Music Week British Commercial Pop Charts. SHAB’s debut album, ‘INFINITE LOVE’, received immediate critical acclaim, with critics describing her unique electronic dance sound as “energising global pop that is both effortless and memorable.” These remarkable achievements -- combined with over 25 million YouTube views, 13 million Spotify streams and a rapidly growing global fanbase -- attest to her talent and skill to consistently create chart-topping hits. She has seen recent feature coverage in Wonderland, Daily Mirror, Daily Express, Big Issue, HotPress & METAL Magazine and on the covers of FHM & Marie Claire. SHAB has also shone brightly on the live stage, beginning with her first international performances during 2022 on a 25-date European tour. She followed this trek during 2023 with her first-ever arena tour, opening for JLS on an 18-date tour of Ireland & Britain, including two sold-out dates at The O2 in London.
