Buzz Exclusive: R3HAB On His Latest Club Banger, And Future Plans!

For years, we will be speaking about the impact of a global pandemic on not just the music industry, but life in general. However, every cloud has its lining as they say, and history will also speak about the resilience that the world has had – adapting to unforeseen circumstances, and making sense of the space and time that we are in.

R3HAB is no different. The release of new song “Am I The Only One” has such an upbeat feel – one that he says was in some ways a deliberate choice! “I want my songs to be relatable, so listeners don’t feel alone – but also high energy and danceable so they can shake off…” He wants his music to feel like an escape from reality.

He has teamed up with collaborators Astrid and HRVY for the new song which sounds made for the dancefloor. The producer says that the process of working with different artists is unique. “Every situation is different. Sometimes labels reach out for VIP remixes, other times mutual friends connect us, or sometimes I’ll reach out on Instagram, or anything in between…”

This year has been all about making things happen, given how different the year has been as compared to the last. But R3HAB is hopeful about the future! “We’ve had a hard year,” he says, alluding to the cancellation of shows worldwide, as well as the curtailing of global travel in the earlier days of the pandemic. “But our industry has shown its creativity, and we will continue to find ways to connect people and share beautiful moments. Hopefully 2021 will show us all together in person again.”

He doesn’t take connections for granted, and stays in touch with his fans via his social media – offering updates on his life and music. “I’m active in my IG comments…!” he quips.

As for the continent, he’s excited about the magic that can happen. “ I had a great time working with Thutmose and Rema earlier this year on a dance version of their record “Love in the Morning” and I’m excited to see where their careers go…” He says that his North African roots are a source of pride for him, and a return to touring – especially across the continent – is something that he is eagerly awaiting.

But it’s one step at a time, and one song at a time. He’s happy to vibe with his music, but also practicing self-care through working out and reading.

It’s a good time to be R3HAB, and we cannot wait to see what’s next!
