Australian singer, songwriter and EDM icon Vassy have joined forces with Dutch producer RSCL for the release of her latest single, “Beg.”
Published Friday 16. May via Revealed’s Gemstone Records print, “Beg” is the latest in a variety of singles for the Darwin-born, US-based musician. It is described as being rooted in emotional surrender and the desire to hide vulnerability, it sees vassy (born vasiliki karagiorgos) using her trademark strength to transform pain into power.
“From the moment I wrote and recorded Beg, I knew it had the special spark – umotive, energetic and made for the dance floor,” Vassy explained to Rolling Stone Au/NZ.
“When the label heard it, they immediately loved it and introduced me to RSCL,” she added. “We clicked right away and the collaboration came together effortlessly. What we created is a soulful, piano-driven house track that feels like summer-uplifting, emotional and full of energy that you can feel in each beat.”
Vassy rose to fame as a musician in her original Australia throughout the ’00s and found widespread fame in 2012 when her single “We Are Young” topped Billboards Dance Club Song’s diagram – her first of seven tracks to do so. She found wider fame in 2014 after acting as a highlighted artist at David Guetta and Showtek’s Platinum Certified Single “Bad”.
By 2020, the success of “Bad” saw her joining Apra Amcos’ list of 1,000,000,000 to celebrate the track that reached a billion streams. Since the honor, it has since surpassed the two billion brand, and by 2023 she became the first female recipient of the Accolade icon at the EDM Awards in Miami.
RSCL (pronounced “rascal”) also boasts an impressive career with releases on Spinnin ‘Records and Casablanca Records labels and credits along with names like Mr. Belt & Wezol and Jake Shore.
The release of “Beg” just comes a question a day after the arrival of Vassy’s Boscleustics EP, a collection of intimate acoustic numbers that show her early influences as she reintroduces her classic cut with an immersive bossa style.
