Sister, Sister (Josh Tarzi Remix)
Justy Josh Tarzi

Kicking off this week with something groovy from the lovely Justy.

Another rework from the funk master Josh Tarzi, this time of her "Sister, Sister" - the 2nd piece of the upcoming Remix EP of Pain With Benefits. With fresh vibes in the instrumental but a bitter taste in the lyrics, the song has a heartfelt confession of Justy's experiences, which she calls "an ode to a platonic loss":

Nobody talks about the worst breakup; the breakup of a friendship. When I thought the pain of my breakup couldn't worsen, I was also met with the loss of my best friend who began dating my ex. In my lowest moment I thought of how it felt to lose someone who felt like a sister. Sister, Sister takes on this pain of platonic loss. Giving new life to the original, as featured on my debut album, the remix is a reminder of where I started vs. where I am now a year later.

Justy's signature hazy vocals and captivating bars intertwine with playful basslines, groovy drums, and warm keys.

She also elaborates on her collab with Josh:

Working with Josh and bringing new life to some of my favorite tracks off of my debut album was incredible. It's done in a way it feels like the remix project gives some further closure to the overall journey of healing, forgiveness, and acceptance. It's also amazing to see how a year later we've progressed sonically and can sort of look back from an outside perspective at this point.
