Taska Black has returned with a passionate new single featuring Tessa Dixson, “Found Myself,” out via Martin Garrix‘s STMPD RCRDS banner. “Found Myself” is a crawling, contemplative ballad that that leans heavily on organic instrumentals as Dixson’s powerful voice pairs effortlessly with Black’s refined songwriting ability.
