'Remember Love' is the new single from Scottish-based solo artist SheBeat. Released first on fan-powered Bandcamp and Patreon platforms, the single is now on all streaming sites for playlists and listening pleasure.
The song is about a new relationship when all the love songs feel especially written for your new beau. In fact, you hear this exact jumping off point in the first line of 'Remember Love'.
Singer-songwriter SheBeat Jodie said: "This is a declaration to a new love, with all the optimism and joy that involves, infused into the music and lyrics."
This dreampop love song offers a romantic, summer sound to relax to, with exclusive cover artwork from Margate artist Margo McDaid.
SheBeat explains: "I've been following the talented Ms. McDaid on Instagram for some time and find her simple but striking artworks so delightful. I humbly asked if she would collaborate on my cover art for this release, and amazingly she agreed! It's such an honour, and I hope SheBeat fans will see the parallels in our work - simplicity, character and memorable messages."
The Liverpool born, Leith artist has released a number of well-received singles this year, all produced by Brawsome Productions' Ian White (Sons of the Descent, The Wendys).
Producer Ian White said: "This is a gentle song and I took a delicate approach to production. All the tracks this year we've worked on together - Believe, So Into You, Homecoming Queen - each have their own sound while remaining distinctly SheBeat in style. Excited to work on more tracks ahead of the album release."
COMING SOON
Another single release is planned for the autumn and a debut album before the end of 2021.

BACKGROUND
LONG BIO
SheBeat picked up her guitar and stepped into the live music scene in Liverpool at the end of 2012. Singing original songs from the start, filling the in-between bits with stories and smiles, SheBeat isn't quite like anyone else. After a gigtastic year learning her stage craft on the open mic scene in Liverpool, Chester and surrounding North West region, SheBeat was soon being booked for billed gigs and local festivals.
In 2014, SheBeat published a self-titled debut EP featuring tracks Mine, Freaky Crazy, Always on the Run and She Never Sleeps Alone. Recorded by producer Darren Jones at his home studio in L8, with Beach Boys-style keys and backing vocals from We Are Catchers' Peter Jackson.
Next release followed in 2015 and her second EP recorded at Liverpool's prestigious The Motor Museum Studios with new producer James Mellor. Featuring title track Feels Like, Rainproof, Yours Sincerely, and for a limited edition CD, recordings of Until Now and Hairy Boy Blues. This time SheBeat took a more stripped-back approach with no frills to try and capture the intimate experience of her live performances.
In 2018 SheBeat released her recording of Until Now as a digital single for the first time, then in summer 2019, she released a live recording of Feels Like, recorded live at The Bedford in Balham.
A third EP was released November 2019, recorded, mixed and mastered at DROMA Records with producer Jack Tasker in his Birmingham home studio. Featuring three new songs including title track Catch Your Breath, Untethered (co-written with friend Dave Ridley) and Impossible on the digital edition, plus a new stripped-back recording of her fan-favourite Freaky Crazy on the CD edition.
In 2020 SheBeat released the fan-favourite Marry Me, in time for February's Leap Day. Then popular lockdown release, Lockdown Limbo, followed in May. The song written during the early COVID lockdown, was produced remotely with help from Brawsome Productions' Ian White in Edinburgh. In June, another fan-favourite song, Hairy Boy Blues, was released on Bandcamp and a physical CD compilation from Birmingham indie label Die Das Der to raise funds to support small venues in Birmingham closed due to the ongoing pandemic.
After moving to Scotland in late 2020, all the 2021 single releases have all been recorded in Edinburgh with Ian 'Brawsome' White. Believe came out in January, So Into You in February and Homecoming Queen in March. New release Remember Love is out in August.
All singles and EPs are available for streaming and download on SheBeat Records published via Ditto Music on all the popular platforms.
