Resilience in Music: SHAB’s ‘Skin & Bones’ and the Healing Touch of Damon Sharpe
“Skin & Bones” is a deeply resonant anthem by Persian-American artist SHAB, now featuring a remix by GRAMMY and ASCAP award-winning producer Damon Sharpe.
The song was penned in the wake of a traumatic event, as SHAB emerged from a studio session with Sharpe only to learn that her partner had suffered critical injuries in a car accident in Dallas. “Skin & Bones” showcases SHAB at her most vulnerable yet powerful.
Damon Sharpe, a GRAMMY-winning producer known for his work with artists such as Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez, Kylie Minogue, Pitbull, Alesso, and Kelly Rowland, remarked on the significance of the track: “’Skin & Bones’ is a deeply personal production and song for me. I was present when the events that inspired it unfolded, so collaborating with SHAB to musically express her and Rob’s story was an emotional journey. SHAB and Rob feel like family to me, and it was a privilege to co-write this song with SHAB. Capturing the raw emotion and sentiment in the production was a rewarding challenge, reminding me of my passion for this craft.”
This remix follows SHAB’s recent successful U.S. national tour as the opening act for The Wanted, where she delivered standout performances in cities including Miami, Phoenix, Chicago, Las Vegas, and New York. Her previous single, “Lipstick,” marked her first entry into the U.S. Top 40 radio hits during August and September 2023, further solidifying her status as one of pop’s most compelling new voices.
With her inspiring journey from Iranian refugee to emerging pop icon, SHAB is committed to using her platform for more than just music. She plans to conclude 2025 with the release of her full “Skin & Bones” EP in November, a special re-release of a Christmas single in December, and a media tour leading into her next album and performance tour in early 2026. Alongside her music endeavors, she actively supports nonprofit organizations such as London-based Choose Love and Hope Supply Co. in North Texas, advocating for causes that reflect her values and experiences.
