Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Producer and singer/songwriter, Essy, is kicking off her solo career with a proper bang. Her new single, “Cry For Me” features melodic, dreamy synths and jazzy, 80’s themed production. It’s both captivating and unique which mostly speaks to the true potential of the talented musician and what we can expect to hear more of in the coming months.

"This album is about revival. During isolation, I spent nights by my childhood piano reconnecting the dots to my own story and picking up pieces of myself I let fall behind. It was both grounding and terrifying, and induced a six-piece sonic journey that twists and turns through states of awakeness, anger, nostalgia, and sadness. All of these songs are emotional states I experienced that led to me to discover a better version of myself. I am immensely proud of this album. It's a piece of work that has both challenged me and allowed me to grow as a writer and producer." — Essy

Essy co-wrote and produced the album alongside Johnluke Lewis (LANY). Accompanying the new single is a music video for your viewing pleasure. Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think down below. Don’t forget to connect with Essy online to stay up to date and enjoy!

Watch SHY Martin's music video for "Remember you were the one" here

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

SHY Martin is an artist we’ve covered the most since launching the Gems & Secrets platform. From penning some of our favorite songs within the last decade while simultaneously collecting billions of streams from listeners all around the world, it would seem the artist would eventually start to fill the pressure—and while we’re not suggesting the musician doesn’t feel any pressure within her creative process—one thing is for sure… SHY Martin continues to hold a level of quality and integrity within her work that never loses its magic.

“I feel like I‘ve become better at respecting myself and my energy during the last year, I’ve learnt to move away from situations and people that don't make me happy. I’ve never been good at letting relationships go and as a songwriter I’ve always gone back to old relationships trying to figure out why they went wrong or if I could have done something differently to change the outcome. This song is the first one I’ve written about accepting it for what it is instead of dwelling on the past” — SHY Martin

With her latest, titled “Remember you were the one”, SHY Martin hits a darker tone than what we’ve heard in recent past. It’s eccentric and bold and we love the direction and energy SHY Martin delivers throughout her performance. Accompanying the new single is a DIY lyric music video that blends screenshots and film photos together to create a lifestyle look of the artist, and we gotta say, we love how it came out.

Check out the new single for yourself and let us know what you think down below. Don’t forget to connect with SHY Martin online to stay up to date on any upcoming releases and enjoy!
