A wonderful slow burner for this summery Friday afternoon.

Just like the end of summer is nostalgic & bittersweet (because September holds a lot of city nightlife, of course), Shaé Universe's new offering "Passenger Princess" tells about the mixed feelings of a breakup.

Making her comeback after last year's Unorthodox EP, Shaé delivers this TSB-produced tune that authentically mirrors real-life situations, focusing less on finding closure and more on embracing the nuanced truth that not all situations have straightforward resolutions. It advocates for coming to terms with the messiness and dissatisfying end of certain chapters, recognizing that life's complexities don't always adhere to logic, and that's perfectly acceptable.

She elaborates, “Passenger Princess” was birthed from bittersweet feelings about my ex at the time. He’d sent me roses all the way from LA and I still wasn’t over everything we’d been through when I received them so I put all my mixed emotions into this song.”

This is the top pick of our friends Global Soul's latest chart (where they also played the Misha remix of Lina Nikol). You can listen to below:
