Enamour & Sam Shi release "what u said" via Crosstown Rebels
Los Angeles producer Enamour returns to Crosstown Rebels with "What U Said," a brand-new single built around the striking vocals of artist and producer SAM SHI. Setting off a highly anticipated mid-summer release, the track arrives coupled with an official remix from label regular duo Bonafique.
"What U Said" moves effortlessly through Enamour’s signature blend of deep house warmth and progressive lift, built around a single, powerful concept: the exact moment a few spoken words turn physical, sparking a reaction you cannot take back. SAM SHI’s vocal performance carries that chemical tension throughout the record, while the meticulous production holds it in a tight space, artfully bridging the gap between a fun, driving club record and a sophisticated, sexy late-night roller.
"What U Said" has been one of my favorites since Enamour and I first started working on it together — and every time I’ve played it in a set, I watch the whole room tap into that chemical tension. There’s something about it that hits that perfect sweet spot between fun and sexy, and I live for that moment when you can feel it land. Having Bonafique remix it feels like a natural extension of that energy. I’ve been a fan of their work for a while now and have so much respect for what they bring to a production." — SAM SHI
"What U Said" is about the moment language turns physical; when words create a chemical reaction you can’t take back. It taps into the same quirky energy as my other records on the label, which I think heightens the feeling of surprise as the instrumental meanders underneath SAM SHI’s vocal." — Enamour
Bonafique steps in on remix duty, delivering a rework that keeps the original track's raw emotional tension fully intact while pushing the arrangement into a significantly deeper, more hypnotic underground groove. The milestone release follows close behind SAM SHI’s recent vocal feature on Anjunadeep Explorations earlier this summer, placing her voice at the center of two of dance music’s most respected rosters, while marking Enamour’s latest output with the Crosstown Rebels family following heavy global support from the likes of Solomun, Black Coffee, Damian Lazarus, and Hernan Cattaneo.
