Polar Youth , otherwise called Elisabeth Verstraete, is a self-trained multi-instrumentalist from Ghent, Belgium. Receiving a guitar at the tender age of 9 years old, she began creating and developing her sound. During that time she began to foster her own melodic style, presently referred to by a lot of people as ‘Electronica meets Hip Hop”. In 2014, when she begun delivering music under her artistic name, Polar Youth she promptly stood out and was deemed the ”most promising artist” at the Red Bull Elektropedia Awards in Belgium.
Today we have privilege to share her latest remix of Selah Sue’s, ‘Pills’. Polar Youth decided to wrap these deep and serious lyrics in a summery UK garage track. Commenting on the production Polar Youth said:
“People shouldn’t be afraid to talk about anti-depressants, despite them being labelled a
‘taboo’. I wanted to put this serious subject out in a light and danceable matter. So it can
get played on the dance floor and get more attention in a fun way. I’m a very positive
minded person and really think that we can dance off the problems we face in life.”
Expect smooth transitions, euphoric melodies and a clean catchy garage remix for any chill playlist
