2’. Maidza then returned the favour with a guest verse on ‘THE GHOST OF RANKING DREAD!’, a track from JPEGMAFIA’s 2021 album ‘LP!’.A music video for the ‘High Beams’ remix is set to premiere tomorrow (October 13).
Listen to the remix below:In a statement shared to social media, Maidza revealed that the remix of ‘High Beams’ was meant to be released “a long time ago”. The release was delayed, however, due to what Maidza describes as a “rollercoaster” of a year thus far.She also noted that ‘High Beams’ is a song “about stepping up and being who you are beyond what people think of you”.“I like writing from the point of being the underdog, because I felt like that my whole life, but I always transform and move on,” she wrote.
Elaborating on her difficult year, Maidza said she had experienced “hi highs and [the] lowest lows” throughout 2022.“I feel like I really had to detach a lot [to] see beyond what was happening to me in the 3D [sic] to imagine [the] next version with no fear,” she wrote.Maidza’s post concluded by promising a “[new] era” was “close”, indicating that she is working on a follow-up to the ‘Last Year Was Weird’ project.
