Where have you seen Montreal-based French and Djiboutian songstress Shay Lia before? It was in that amazing Boiler Room DJ set by Kaytranada way back (when Shay was only a student... she comes by about 7 minutes into the set).

The soulful vibes of her new single "Cherish" smooth out the deeper topics explored in the lyrics, which were inspired by recent events in Syria.

Listen to her earlier collaboration with Kaytranada on "Losing Her".
