Indie Artist Shy Releases Heartfelt Acoustic Ballad

Music Review | 26th July, 2024 SHY

Based in Dublin, SHY is a Ukrainian singer-songwriter defining her genre as indie-pop/acoustic-pop. A former X- factor participant, SHY released her debut EP Loading back in 2018 which launched her career as an independent artist.

Since her move, SHY has immersed herself in Dublin's indie music community, performing at renowned venues and collaborating with local artists. Her heartfelt storytelling and catchy melodies quickly garnered attention from critics and music lovers.

The latest track from the artist is On The Roof, an acoustic ballad that explores the feeling of loss, uncertainty and bitter-sweet nostalgia.

Speaking about her latest track Shy says;

This song is about those quiet moments of reflection after saying goodbye to someone who has been a significant part of your life. Being on the roof symbolises a place where you can see everything clearly and begin to envision a new future.

Since the pandemic and the full scale war in Ukraine, not only have I had to rearrange my own life completely, but also watched so many of my friends living through their toughest times, making decisions that turned everything upside down and very often those decisions involved leaving people they once loved behind.

You may not believe me, but I feel some of my friends' losses and breakups often hit me harder than my own hardships. So this song is for everyone who has been through the pain of parting with their loved ones and facing a new life without them, for those who have been back to that square one.
