James Hersey – ‘Miss You (Honne Remix)’
United Kingdom
James’s debut single ‘Miss You’ only dropped last month, and has since racked up over 2.5 million streams. The song has since received a sparkling piano-led remix from HONNE, speaking about the remix HONNE explained, “This remix came so easy. As soon as we heard James’ vocal we came up with that gentle rhythmic piano part that runs throughout. Something that never ceases to amaze us is how new chord sequences can add to or shift the sentiment of lyrics, and we really enjoyed playing with that for this.”
