SHAB and Preston Harris Connect on Emotional Afro House Single “It’s On You”

Global pop artist SHAB continues her strong run of releases with “It’s On You,” a new Afro House-inspired collaboration featuring vocalist and songwriter Preston Harris.  The single blends club-ready production with emotionally driven songwriting, creating a record that feels equally suited for late-night dancefloors and reflective after-hours moments.

Driven by hypnotic percussion, moody synth textures, and melodic tension, “It’s On You” explores the emotional distance and attraction between two people standing at a crossroads in their relationship. SHAB delivers a performance filled with both vulnerability and confidence, while Preston Harris brings a smooth and soulful balance that gives the record added depth and chemistry. Together, the pair create a conversational dynamic throughout the song, moving between emotional release, tension, honesty, and reflection over a rhythm-heavy Afro House backdrop.

The production leans into movement without sacrificing emotion. Rather than relying solely on high-energy drops, the track builds atmosphere through layered vocals, subtle melodic progression, and immersive rhythms that pull listeners into its emotional core. It is a song designed to move people physically and emotionally at the same time.

Preston Harris enters the collaboration with major momentum following a Global #1 Dance Radio hit alongside superstar DJ HUGEL. Known for blending elements of R&B, hip hop, and contemporary soul, Harris has also contributed to projects connected to artists including Kendrick Lamar, Nicky Jam, Terrace Martin, and Hit-Boy. His ability to merge soulful songwriting with modern production makes him a strong creative match for SHAB’s globally influenced sound.

For SHAB, “It’s On You” continues an artistic journey shaped by resilience, reinvention, and personal freedom. After escaping religious extremism in Iran as a teenager, she arrived in New York alone with a single suitcase and limited knowledge of English. Learning the language while balancing multiple jobs and education, she eventually chose music over law school, turning creativity into both a career and a form of self-expression.

That experience has become central to her artistry. Across projects like Infinite Love and One Suitcase, SHAB has built a sound rooted in emotional honesty, global influences, and themes of identity and liberation. Beyond music, she has also become an outspoken advocate for women’s rights in Iran, using her growing platform to speak against oppression and amplify conversations around freedom and human rights.

Over the last few years, SHAB has steadily expanded her international profile through a string of successful releases. Her collaboration with Fat Joe on “VooDoo” broke into the Top 40 across multiple radio formats, while singles like “Lipstick” and “Skin & Bones” continued to build her presence on pop and dance charts. Since first gaining attention in 2020 with multiple high-charting records on the UK Music Week Commercial Pop Charts, SHAB has developed a sound that balances electronic energy with emotional storytelling.

With more than 25 million YouTube views and over 13 million Spotify streams, SHAB’s growth has extended far beyond streaming numbers alone. Her music and story have been highlighted by major publications, including Rolling Stone, The Independent, and Marie Claire, helping establish her as a global artist with both cultural and creative impact.

“It’s On You” continues that evolution. Combining Afro House rhythms, emotional songwriting, and polished vocal performances, the single captures both intimacy and scale while reinforcing SHAB’s ability to bridge personal storytelling with global pop production.
