Wish U Had Me

Sarah O'Moore

Sarah O’Moore and Nessbeth deliver a dark, cinematic DnB cut with Wish U Had Me – a soulful, high-impact track exploring heartbreak and defiance.

2861652 Records DK2 Released 23 May 2025

Irish vocalist and songwriter Sarah O’Moore teams up with German producer Nessbeth for a standout new single, Wish U Had Me – a brooding, high-gloss cut of vocal-driven drum and bass that explores the emotional fallout of longing and self-worth.

With Sarah’s expressive vocals front and centre, the track feels like a confessional turned catharsis. Her lyrical vulnerability – “you wish you had me, now I’m gone” – is delivered with a quietly commanding tone, contrasting beautifully against Nessbeth’s widescreen production. Deep reese basslines simmer beneath sharp breaks, while ambient textures and cinematic pads add dramatic weight to the mix.

There's a sophisticated duality at play here: light and shade, softness and bite, restraint and release. It’s dancefloor-ready, yes, but with emotional depth that lingers long after the last drop.

One for fans of Etherwood, GLXY, or Hybrid Minds’ darker moments, Wish U Had Me is a confident and compelling collaboration that carves out space for honest storytelling in drum and bass.
