ABISHA Reveals Lush New Single “Body To Body” – Scorpio EP Due Out February 28, 2020

Rising British alt-pop and R&B songstress ABISHA kicks off a new decade with “Body to Body,” a certified sensual bop.

“‘Body to Body’ is passionate and lust-fueled; it’s about really connecting with someone and craving that intimacy with them, but there’s distance separating you. It’s about falling for someone deeply and feeling so elated that you can almost imagine a future with them. I guess it’s like the little bubble that you’re in at the very early stages of dating. It’s dangerous.” says ABISHA of the new single.

Following the success of her steady onslaught of singles over the last two years, “Body to Body” serves as the third and final track to be revealed off her highly anticipated debut EP entitled Scorpio. Just ahead of the new year, ABISHA dropped “Love Like This,” a wistful, two-fold ballad packed with a profound message about undeniable love and LGBTQIA+ acceptance. Prior to that, she unveiled “Real Life” which fuses futuristic synths with sunset-sounding guitars for a nostalgia-tinged vibe to elevate the track’s lyrics on love and loss.

All three tracks and a bonus are set to appear on the Scorpio EP due out February 28, 2020 via Spindle Music/AWAL/Kobalt.

In each song she shares with the world, ABISHA embodies a quiet self-possession, an element especially evident in her sophisticated yet soulful vocal presence. But for the 25-year-old singer/songwriter, that confidence follows from overcoming profound insecurity, a journey closely tied to coming of age as a gay person of color in her homeland of Devon. Imbued with both raw sensitivity and understated power, ABISHA’s music intimately documents her transformation through the years – and ultimately speaks to the urgency of representation, and the radical beauty of self-acceptance. “Growing up black and gay in a place that’s largely white and where I didn’t know of anyone else who was queer, I had this feeling of being different for most of my life,” ABISHA reveals. “There wasn’t anyone around for me to identify with, and there weren’t even many popular queer artists back then – so for a long time I wanted so badly to be what I thought was normal. Now that I’m discovering who I am as an artist, I’m also discovering who I am as a person, and I’ve finally gotten to a place where I’m happy to stand out and express myself every way I can.”

All throughout her forthcoming body of work, ABISHA’s lyrics unfold with a directness that also reflects that greater self-assurance, as well as a heightened clarity about her mission as an artist. “Over the past year or so I’ve thought a lot more about what I want to convey with my music, and so much of that is about empowering people through sharing my experiences,” she says. To that end, she’s begun exploring ways to use her music, visuals, and singular fashion sense to fully embrace what sets her apart. “I think it’s so important for artists to be open, because it helps other people to feel comfortable with themselves – especially people who come from a place like I did, where they don’t have anyone they can relate to or talk to,” she says. “I’d love for my music to get through to people and help them understand that how they feel is completely okay, and they don’t ever have to hide who they truly are.”
