Every so often, the electronic music world is graced with a collaboration that doesn’t just sound good—it feels alive.
Dutch artist Priska, one of the most intriguing rising voices in European EDM, has teamed up with producer Melandru for her newest release, “i want u b.” The result? A shimmering, emotional, and irresistibly dynamic track that stands poised to become a fan favorite across playlists, clubs, and festival stages.
At just 26 years old, Priska has already built a global reputation grounded in versatility, raw emotion, and a distinctive melodic fingerprint. Born and raised in the Netherlands, she has spent the last several years traveling across Europe—from Romania to England to Berlin—collaborating with artists from a wide range of electronic subgenres. Her résumé is stacked with heavy-hitting names: Alexandra Stan, Brennan Heart, Armin van Buuren, Lizot, Ronnie Flex, Cesqeaux, and many more. Her earlier breakthrough, “On the Move” with Lizot, introduced her to millions and spotlighted the unique quality that sets her apart: an extraordinary range in both songwriting and melodic composition.
But Priska’s newest release takes her artistry somewhere deeper—somewhere more vulnerable.
At its core, “i want u b” is a confessional dance track—a diary entry disguised as a club anthem. Written from a place of emotional conflict, the song documents a love that wasn’t allowed to exist, a connection simultaneously magnetic and impossible. The lyrics reflect Priska’s internal struggle: fear, longing, certainty that it couldn’t work, and the inevitable need to choose herself.
“One of the hardest lines to write,” she explains, “was admitting that no one understood me like she did, and that I didn’t know how to detach.” It’s a universal feeling—loving someone you know you can’t keep, yet being unable to step away. Priska transforms this emotional turmoil into something artful and cathartic, weaving her vulnerability into a narrative that resonates deeply with listeners who have lived through similar shadows of almost-love.
What makes the track especially compelling is Priska’s ability to take something personal and translate it into a sonic landscape that pulses with energy rather than tragedy. Instead of sinking into melancholy, she channels tension into motion—her melody lines move the way emotions do, rising, breaking, reaching, refusing to settle. This is where her signature style shines: melodies that feel intuitive yet unpredictable, polished yet intensely human.
Behind the track’s production is Melandru, a long-time collaborator and, as Priska describes, “family.” Their creative chemistry is unmistakable. The moment she heard the music he had crafted, she felt the perfect foundation for the story she wanted to tell.
“The music Melandru gave me was the perfect opportunity to go crazy on it—in a very polite way,” she says with a smile. “The vibes were absolutely extraordinary, but that was no surprise for me.”
Melandru’s production lays out a lush, rhythm-driven world where warmth and tension play in harmony. His arrangement provides both space for Priska’s storytelling and elevation for her vocal intensity. Bright synths, fluid basslines, and atmospheric textures intertwine to amplify the emotional push and pull at the center of the narrative.
The collaboration works because both artists trust each other’s instincts. Melandru sets the stage; Priska sets the soul on fire.
“i want u b” stands out not just for its honesty but for its dual energy: heart-heavy lyrics layered over a bright, danceable framework. It feels like a song caught between confession and escape—between wanting to hide and wanting to scream the truth into the universe. This duality is what gives the track its depth and replay value.
Listeners will find themselves drawn to the tension, the contrast, and the emotional transparency. It’s the kind of song that hits different depending on your mood: uplifting in one moment, devastating in the next.
With each release, Priska cements her place as one of the most compelling vocalists and songwriters in today’s EDM landscape. Her ability to merge soulful storytelling with festival-ready melodies makes her a standout in a crowded scene. “i want u b” not only showcases her evolution but sets the tone for what’s ahead: bold collaborations, emotionally rich narratives, and a fearless approach to musical identity.
For fans of personal yet powerful dance music, Priska’s latest work is a must-listen—an emotional journey wrapped in electronic brilliance. And for Priska herself, it marks another step in a career defined not just by sound, but by sincerity.
