Produced by: Abie Lena, Gia-Rose Hilton, Drake Anton Zaslavsky (Remix Version)
Written by: Abie Lena, Lilly Stuart
Genre: Dream pop, Trip Hop (remix version)
Published by Studio 60

The fifth and final single of Abie Lena's critical acclaimed fourth studio album is the last song of its track listing, the spiritually virtue track called 'Old Soul'. The song will also be feature on the upcoming Greatest Hits album set to be released in April 20th. This compilation is going to celebrate the five years of career of Abie Lena, five years signed with Studio 60 after having sold around 35 million copies of albums and singles. Abie has a lot to celebrate recently as well, with her “Immortal World Tour” going back to USA this month for a second sold out leg, its last leg was in Europe where Abie was able to travel the whole continent with her own sister supporting her.
The single will be released in a special edition in form of an EP which will feature five versions of the same track, the first one being the original version of the album, the second, a special remix produced by Drake Anton Zaslavsky (mISTER_b) set to rotate on radio stations, the third and fourth ones are acoustic versions, and the last one in form of a video taken from Abie’s tour.
The original version of the song has a variety of strings instruments but the main of them all is the harp. The melodic notes performed on harp set the mood for the entire track, despite the intimate harp melody the track receives other treats, such as bass, synths and an orchestra backing vocal which combined to Abie’s acute vocals, adds an epic esthetic to the song. For the remix track, Drake worked with trip hop beats, so bass and synth in a mid-tempo tries to maintain the melodic aspects of the original version of this track, but he also added a very dramatic piano riff through the track and Abie’s vocals are heavily effected, expect when she performs the chorus, where Drake decided to leave it clean and hearable. The two acoustic versions of the track are not that much different from the original version of it, they all have the same tempo and melodic aspects, but the first acoustic one, keeps the harp and the violins and in place of the bass and synth its added an acoustic guitar, for the other one, there’s only a free style piano performance accompanying Abie’s vocals. The last version of the song comes to be a live music video filmed during the world tour, this video will also be added to Abie Lena’s vevo account next Sunday.
This special released will anticipate the first compilation album by the singer, a compilation which will be entitled “Greatest Hits: The best of me”. Not only of hit singles this compilation will be, it will also feature the favorites tracks of the fans, a research was done by Studio 60 during the Immortals World Tour and the fans could picked up 5 of the 17 songs that will be feature don the album. A DVD is going to be released as a deluxe edition of it, it will feature all the music videos Abie Release in these five years of career and a concert filmed at the Staple Center of her most recent world tour.
Abie has tour dates until June of 2015, another single is expected to be released before the album comes out, for this next single it appears to be a new song Abie wrote specially for this release. After the tour Abie will take a long break on her career to focus on her private life.


Lyrics

The cold embraced me
And the silence stifled my reason
It’s better not feeling anything
Too strange to accept
But sweet and affectionate
Within its fragile glass dome, it’s insecure

Don’t try to revive what’s dead long ago
Don’t judge me for being so cold
‘Cause you can't see the scars of my aching soul

Don’t wish forgiveness
Gave up the lust
All I hope is one day return to dust

Don’t try to revive what’s dead long ago
Don’t judge me for being so cold
‘Cause you can't see the scars of my aching soul

Don’t try to revive what’s dead long ago
Don’t judge me for being so cold
‘Cause you can't see the scars of my old soul

Honor: Abie, you're so dark these days, it's kinda hot. But seriously, beautifully written track with even more of a beautiful sound arrangement behind it. Wow, I can't believe it's been 5 years already. Most people don't last 5 months, you go girl.

Song: Old Soul (Live)
Artist: Abie Lena
Album: The Grim History of Love
Directed by: Nick Wickham
Studio60


This performance was shot at the Staple center as part of the live performance of Abie’s world tour entitled “Immortals”. It was directed by Nick Wickham and it will be featured on a special DVD which will include not only the live performance but all music videos of Abie’s five years of career. Abie plays the piano on this performance, contrary the original sound of the song which comes to be the harp, but for a purpose of better sounding in live performance, Abie is at her Piano playing the song.
Lighted by purple and pink lights, the entire stage’s cannon lights are pointed to Abie, she seems to be the focus of the performance. Despite the song was not a single during the time it was recorded, several people in the audience of the soul out night, knows the lyrics of the emotional song. The interpretation Abie gives is also something to admire, she incorporates the feelings of the track in every word she sung, she was always such an emotional powerful vocal singer, but even with intimate songs like this one, where there’s no loud acute, she keeps the feeling under the skin.
Abie is focused looking to the keys she’s playing during the performance, but sometimes she points her head to the side where she can see the crowd and she gives them a slightly smile noticing that they’re actually singing some lines of the unknown track. The song has additional instrumentations, such as violins and bass and even backing vocals, for this world tour, Abie is traveling with an entire orchestra and with no doubt this orchestra breaks in this performance after Abie had done the first half of the track, which added a level of theatrical aspects to it. The entire orchestra is lighted in purple and pink such as Abie.
There’s a large led screen projecting visual concepts in the backside of the stage, it is projecting a rose getting old as the environment around this flower pass fast, we can see the clouds and night and the day come over and over again, in a certain moment of the track where there’s only instrumentation, when the orchestra shows all its potential and Abie accompanying them on her piano, this Flower dies in the screen, culminating into the last chorus of the performance.
Everything is subtle but theatrical, Abie looks stunning on her black dress in her favorite place sited on her piano, she is so adorable to watch, her powerful vocals are impressive but contrasts with her shy and pretty personality. The last moments of the performance sees Abie thanking her crowd by bowing her head as they loudly clap and screams for her.

Produced by: Abie Lena, Drake Anton Zaslavsky
Written by: Abie Lena
Genre: Art Pop, electropo
Published by Studio 60

The only official single of Abie Lena’s first compilation album is the song called “Worst side of me”. The single is streaming this week and it will receive a digital release for the following week on ITunes. Abie is still touring on her successful immortals world tour and it happens that this song is going to be the newest material we’re having from Miss Lena for sometime, as she already announced on her twitter account that after she ends her world tour, she’s taking a break on her career to focus on her personal life.
Abie has been working for over five years now, in the midst of it she discovered a disease, she had a relationship with her doctor and she signed a multi-million contract with her record label. So many things for a young lady like her in a short period of time. As a celebration for all her accolades she decided to release a Greatest Hits. So far the album that’s been streaming since the begging of April, the fans could take a journey into Abie’s most loved tracks and eve revive her old Motown roots, some of the music critics started to think about what made Abie changes her music style so much from her first record to her last one.
Even though Abie is taking a break, fans around the world claim for her to come with new music the sooner she can, she is quiet about writing music, although she said before that she’s always writing and recording new music, we cannot predict how long it will take for her to release a new album, but one thing is certain, whenever she’s ready to release new material, we hope she’ll bring her roots back.
The single is already being performed on tour, another live video of a performance is going to be streaming next week on her Vevo Channel, but the song will receive a music video directed by Emily Kai Bock and Abie herself, schedule to be filmed during the break of Abie’s touring nex Month (May 2015).

Song Description

"Worst side of me" lasts for a duration of 3:52 (three minutes and fifty two seconds). It as an electropop song, however it explores Abie’s art pop sensibilities. The song features Abie's "brooding croon" over minimal synthesizers and rattling drums. It can be compared to Abie’s previous album “The End Starts Now” which saw the use of mainstream pop genres like hip hop, mixed with classical and indie elements. The minimalist style presented in the song also can be compared to other tracks of her second studio album “Seasons” and the song of the same name, despite it does not have any influence of soul music, it has an apathetic tone that’s present on songs that Abie makes a self – analyses of her own persona.
Vocals are controlled and low key on the verses of the track, in the chorus, there’s a spark to her voice which raises the key of the track and also adds some falsettos.
The lyrics are straightforward and works as a warning to anyone who wants to understand what’s going through Abie Lena’s mind. She is often categorized as fragile and sad woman, but it appears that she has some rage in her, a rage that she tries to maintain asleep on her inner personality and that she doesn’t want it to be awaken for no circumstances, but she warns to not be tempted to show her devil side. It is a shift to her most depressed work and perhaps a clever way for her songwriting, which saw some criticism in her last album due to her often low self-steam.

Lyrics

I woke at dawn, I’m restless again
Another sleepless night
Staring the ceiling above my head
Wasting my time
Voices breaking the silence
Are taking off my solace
The noise brings me back conscience

I look for serenity but I am anxious
One at a time, I give up my dreams
And spit my poison
You said that I’m an angel
But I’ve fallen for so long time
You think you can untangle
But I’m trapped in my own lies

I run from you
It’s only me hiding from the stir
For it’s the only way
By which you'll be safe
Don’t tempt me, 'cause there is
A reason why you hadn’t seen
The worst side of me

So you retreat, it’s better stay away
You wouldn’t fill the gaps
Of my heart in pain
Don’t dare me, ‘cause there is
A reason why you hadn’t seen
The worst side of me

Wherever I go these shadows follow me
What it’s touched by my fingers tend to
Spontaneously bleed

You said that I was good
But good is not enough
You think you can unveiled me
But I’m a lost cause
Your persisting advances
Your urgency decisions
Your virtuous patience
Has awaken the wost side of me

So, I run from you
It’s only me hiding from the stir
For it’s the only way
By which you'll be safe
Don’t tempt me, 'cause there is
A reason why you hadn’t seen
The worst side of me

Then you retreat, it’s better stay away
You wouldn’t fill the gaps
Of my heart in pain
Don’t dare me, ‘cause there is
A reason why you hadn’t seen
The worst side of me

Don’t tempt me, ‘cause there is
A reason why you hadn’t seen
The worst of me
A reason why you hadn’t seen
The worst side of me

Jennifer: I want to see the worst side of you, Abie ;) I'm so used to only seeing your good side because you're so gorgeous! This sounds so good and I know everyone will say that to you but it's really good! I've always loved your sound, it's so dark yet in an odd way romantic. I'm also loving the rage, love a good rage song.

Worst side of me
Abie Lena
Album: Greatest Hits: The Best of me
Directed by: Emily Kai Bock
Studio60



In a dark room, Abie is standing as the first melodies of ‘worst die of me’ are playing. The first lines of song are sung by Abie as she stares the lens of the camera in front of her, there’s an intimacy on Abie’s eyes, it does feel like she is looking for someone, the entire video is based on this relationship between Abie and the three angles that are filming her, own in front of her and two other ones in her left and in her right. But she only stares the angle in front of her.
The first verse of the track consists of this interaction between Abie and the camera, she bounces her body upwards and backwards, trying to find a balance among so many dark and intimate words expressed by the song. As the pre-chorus approaches, it’s revealed that surrounding Abie there are screens showing her old music videos and interviews and performances that she gave throughout the years of her career. Sometimes the lens of the cameras are blurred following the beats of the song, in other moments Abie is shaking her hair trying to get rid of the ghosts disturbing her thoughts. Obviously a metaphor about what happened to her life in the music business, the gossips and the interpretation people gave about herself without really knowing her.
In the first chorus she spread her arms as a gesture of ‘enough’, she raises her head and all the videos on the screens around her are turned off, a special effect of some sort of magnetic power emanated from her body and she starts to walk frenetically through the room performing the impacting chorus, she often points the camera with anger and rage, she sort of dances as well, as if she was liberating herself from a trap, or some kind of mind prison.
The second verse starts and Abie is centered in the middle of the room again, balls of paintings are thrown at her from the screens that were shut off in the previous scene, now Abie is once again trapped, she doesn’t move and still keeps being bombed by all of these paintings in different colors. At some point the camera closes on her face and a red paint hits her, she quits the lip-sync by screaming, opening her mouth in a state of anger, but yet she doesn’t move.
The pre-chorus starts again and as Abie sings it, she caresses her body mixing all the painting covering herself, this feels like she is suffering some kind of pain by being disfigured by all of those painting, just like she wasn’t original anymore, now she looks messed and all covered.
The second chorus starts and once again she spread her arms and instantly water falls down on her, its intense and it cleans herself up, now that she’s liberated from all of those painting, she starts to walk again through the room, daring the viewers of this video to look at her, renewed by the water, with rage on her eyes, she feels free but she is teasing everyone to watch her rebel side.
As the song comes to its climax, Abie centers herself again in the middle of the room, the screen that once showed her old videos and thrown balls of painting at her, now are exploding, Abie spread her arms, screams, liberates her rage and everything starts to blow up, there’s fire approaching her from the ground, but this fire can’t touch her, it forms some kind of circle surrounding her, it burns but it doesn’t touches her body, It didn’t even get close, Abie in the middle of this fire looks fierce, defying the camera in front of her to keep filming her, the same time the scene interchanges to the other two angles, because it fears the rage coming from Abie.
As the song resumes to its minimalistic introduction melody, getting to its end, Abie erases all the fire by circling her hands around her, the whole fire extinguishers the moment she is pointing the fire. Now the dark room is quiet again, Abie is looking to the camera in front of her, with fierce eyes, her head half leaned upside down, her eyes raised half covered by her hair, she starts the camera with those confident eyes and the environment gets darker and darker until we can’t see anything left. The video ends.

I'm also loving the rage, love a good rage song.


Abie: HAHA, It's so flattering for me to receive positive feedback from a singer that I respect a lot! You'll never be able to see the worst side of me, because you're such a sweetheart and I only have love for you ;)

Abie: Thank you so much Ezra, I had a lot of ideas for this video, but I think that it ended up being quite plausible for the song and the moment of my life right now, I'm glad you enjoy it.

Abie: LOL, thank you Kortney, I can't forget the scene where Jack and Rose were having, ya know, a love moment inside a car... I wish I could look as sexy as they were, whatever :)

Abie: Thank you Hannah, I'm so honored to know you think that about me, I try to do my best, although sometimes touring it's tiring.

Don't forget to tune in next Sunday to watch the preparation of Abie Lena for the Worldwide tour she just announced! on BBC


Press Release: After a two years hiatus from music, Abie Lena is back on the road
Having sold over 30 million records worldwide and won countless awards, Abie Lena is quite a respectful name, when it comes to contemporary music. Her last album “The Grim History of Love” was released back in 2014, she went on a world tour to support it, which took the entire following year, ending with a “Greatest Hits” release, after that, she took a time to live life under the shadows and mostly away from the spotlight.
Known for her powerful voice, sweetness and kindness face, Abie was really missed during her absence of the scene, but recently she decided to comeback, while still not releasing any new music, she wanted to explore her catalogue on stage again. A catalogue full of hit single and heartbreaking songs, such as “You make me die” or “Cold Spring”. The concert series will be quite long, since Abie will travel the world in 68 dates starting in September 2017 and ending in August 2018. Once again it will take her ONE year to meet fans, to reinforce her relevance in the music industry.
She promised, she’s going to sing all the fan favorites and while she does it, she also promised to chat about life and how she is feeling in 2017 with almost 30 years.
Its hard to tell if she’s making new music in the meantime, but let’s hope this tour will bring her new horizons to write new music.
So far, don’t forget to run and get your tickets! They’ll probably end up very quickly.
