Persian-American global pop sensation SHAB claims the night with her new single “Perfume,” out today, June 26, 2026. This new high-energy single is the culmination of a 2026 songwriting session amongst SHAB, elite songwriter Damon Sharpe, and hit songwriters Bonnie McKee & JHart. This latest single, “Perfume,” is a proud celebration of SHAB’s roots while seamlessly fusing hypnotic, exotic Middle Eastern elements with the bold, sexy, and playful side of her American upbringing.
Shimmering Middle Eastern Vibes Meet U.S. Chart Power
“Perfume” is another super high-productivity song that is ready for the dance floor, a masterclass in global pop songwriting. The song has a shimmering and fast Middle Eastern-style rhythm that sits on top of a solid dance template. SHAB’s vocal performance on the song is incredible, with her delivering hot and high notes as well as super smooth and soulful verses. The song’s empowering lyrics deliver a confident take on feminine power and desire, with the main chorus delivered around a killer Ferrari metaphor—”I wanna shine like a new Ferrari / I get you high on my perfume.” This song is another that is engineered to get attention without asking for it.
About SHAB
A product of three continents. SHAB is a Persian American singer & songwriter gaining attention in the Western Hemisphere during late 2020 as a “breakout star of the global pandemic,” SHAB has registered four consecutive Number Two hits on the UK Music Week Commercial Charts. Her February 2021 debut album, INFINITE LOVE, was met with immediate critical acclaim, with her unique electronic dance sound typified as “an energizing Global Pop that is both effortless and memorable.”
SHAB initially began her entertainment career while singing in her native Farsi language under her given name of Shabnam and experienced some limited success during 2016 & 2017 with the Farsi single PAS CHI SHOD and the English- Farsi mix LOVE YOU. During early 2018, SHAB sought to crossover as an English language entertainer and began working with Grammy award winning producer-songwriter Damon Sharpe & Eric Sanicola.
Her previous release, VOODOO, is a collaboration with the legendary hip-hop artist Fat Joe which interpolates his club anthem LEAN BACK with SHAB’s debut English 2020 single, SPELL ON ME.
LIPSTICK is SHAB’S first top 40 song from her 2025 album ONE SUITCASE. The 21-track double album blends electronic pop, R&B, and dance influences to create a mix of high-energy tracks and reflective ballads.
Her latest single “It’s On You” ft Preston Harris is an Afro House inspired anthem currently heating up dance radio.
