With music that delves into themes of love, identity, and the personal growth that comes from age, Arison has often drawn from his own life experiences to create stories that are filled with soulful storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>More from Spin:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/06\/dunja-world-shares-an-intense-moment-of-her-life-in-the-last-bridge\/\">Dunja World Shares an Intense Moment of Her Life in \u201cThe Last Bridge.\u201d<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/06\/eddie-jill-vedder-matter-of-time\/\">Eddie, Jill Vedder Reveal The Human Side Of EB In \u2018Matter Of Time\u2019 Doc<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/06\/horror-show-friend-of-a-friend-made-their-new-record-at-the-site-of-americas-first-documented-exorcism\/\">Horror Show: Friend of a Friend Made Their New Record at the Site of America\u2019s First Documented Exorcism<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For Arison, the soulful honesty in his storytelling carries his music from beginning to end, inviting listeners into intimate emotions that most are afraid of hiding. His song \u201cSelfish\u201d is no different.<\/p>\n<p>In a track that takes listeners on a journey of self-reflection, Arison weaves between the eras of his past and the present to create a narrative that symbolizes the power in making amends with not just someone you care for, but oneself as well.<\/p>\n<p>As much as the song has resonated with listeners in its current state, \u201cSelfish\u201d has recently undertaken a new life. A recent remix with pop artist <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/6oWOHAOyBUn6aJlKIPJK9r?si=tBokZbJiQUS67R7F2wjumg\" target=\"_blank\">Leah Kate<\/a> has transformed the song into a new experience for both Arison\u2019s and Kate\u2019s listeners.<\/p>\n<p>Kate, who was born in Los Angeles, California, is an American singer-songwriter known for crafting pop\/rock anthems with hyper-specific details. Her honest and empowering lyrics, which are often drawn from personal experiences, have been displayed on several EPs, which include \u201cImpulse\u201d (2019), \u201cWhat Just Happened?\u201d (2021), and \u201cAlive and Unwell\u201d (2022). She released her debut album, \u201cSuper Over,\u201d in 2023. She is known for writing songs that are both intimate and razor-sharp, and has embraced social media platforms to turn challenges into opportunities for growth and engagement.<\/p>\n<p>In transforming \u201cSelfish\u201d into a duet, Daniel Arison envisioned a new take on the original.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeah brought that energy and gave it a whole new life\u2014it\u2019s a sonic tug-of-war,\u201d Arison states.<\/p>\n<p>Leah Kate also shared her thoughts on the collaboration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I first heard \u2018Selfish,\u2019 I immediately connected to the emotion behind it,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s raw, it\u2019s honest, and it gave me space to bring my own story to the track.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The song, which was produced by Larzz Principato and Nick Ruth, blends iconic Y2K pop-rock nostalgia with modern textures seen in alternative pop, creating a fresh sound.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The song isn\u2019t the only thing that is resonating with audiences. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=J5S9wI83XOU\" target=\"_blank\">poignant music video<\/a> for \u201cSelfish\u201d soulfully captures flashbacks that depict not just wild nights out, but intrepid moments in one\u2019s youth. It was shot in Los Angeles and delivers a cinematic portrayal of the friction that drives the song, both from Arison\u2019s and Kate\u2019s points of view.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration from the two artists showcases them both at not just their boldest, but also their most emotionally resonant. By pushing the boundaries of contemporary alternative pop and highlighting their unique talents, Daniel Arison and Leah Kate have created a song that resonates with their audiences, all while telling a story that is sure to leave you thinking long after you\u2019ve listened to it.\u00a0<br \/>You can listen to the \u201cSelfish\u201d remix now on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/41gkzwwTK4k6xoNqlO6T0K?si=1470e7c20e1545c0\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a> and other streaming platforms.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>SPIN Magazine newsroom and editorial staff were not involved in the creation of this content<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>To see our running list of the top 100 greatest rock stars of all time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2021\/07\/the-greatest-rock-stars-of-all-time\/?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=bottomlink&amp;utm_campaign=yahoolink\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pop is often defined by strong beats and catchy lyrics, but introspective songwriting and genre-bending sounds often push the music to new levels, leaving listeners not just wanting, but craving&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-spin-recommends"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2742"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2742\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
