Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Faouzia has enlisted French producer Michael Calfan (Calvin Harris, Illenium, Kiiara) for a sublime remix of her latest banger, Hero. Set atop Calfan's signature deep house production, Faouzia powerful warm vocals soar as she uses the concept of heroes to represent the expectations of a relationship, supporting one another and having each others back
“I wrote Hero late one night while taking a break from studying for my exams,” the singer shares. “Thematically, the song discusses having fair and reasonable expectations from the love you give and receive in a relationship or a friendship. It's a two-way street and any healthy relationship needs both sides to be supportive of each other.”
The release was accompanied by a charming music video, directed by Ariel Michelle (Loren Gray, FLETCHER). The songs visual takes on a 'choose your fighter' format, with the singer stepping up to an 8-bit arcade, transporting viewers into a wonderland with Faouzia there to save the day.
Having released her debut independent single at the age of 15, Faouzia has over 1 million worldwide streams under her belt and has collaborated with the likes of David Guetta, GRAMMY® Award-winning global superstar Kelly Clarkson, Galantis and Ninho.
