George Sheppard says of the “Die Young” remix: “My favourite kind of remixes are the ones that keep the song recognisable, but somehow make it sound… upgraded. Oliver Nelson has done just that. I was so excited when I heard this version for the first time, I think it’s the best remix we’ve had. Hopefully our fans agree!”
“Die Young” was released on October 18th and got nods from both UPROXX and Du Jour, who says “With a pulsating chorus, this song is a confirmation that Sheppard is here for a good time and you should be, too.” It got off to an incredible global start with major support from Spotify (12 New Music Fridays), Apple Music, Amazon, and YouTube � watch the video for the single now.
