Sebastian Rhodes drops hyper-pop anthem “Miss Me”

The new track also features rising Singaporean-Filipina artist Ysa Yanez

Australian pop sensation Sebastian Rhodes teams up with Filipina-Singaporean artist Ysa Yaneza on the new single “Miss Me”— out today, September 4, 2020 (Friday), on all digital platforms worldwide.

The eclectic pairing explores the glitchy but shimmering surface of pop music while maintaining a slightly experimental production for good measure. 

Turning the spirit of collaboration into a messy kind of fun, “Miss Me” is a brash, unapologetic kiss-off that takes a swipe at someone’s past relationships. According to Rhodes, he wrote the PC-inspired jam for all his exes who are trying to come back into his life, now that things are looking up and exciting. “They were nowhere to be to be found during the tough times of extreme depression,” he adds.

A lot has changed in people’s lives since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. People are encouraged to stay at home, most activities like buying groceries and reunions are now done online, and businesses are either closing or laying-off employees to sustain the business due to the economy drop.
