SHYGIRL – Releases debut ‘Nymph’ Today || + MCR Albert Hall gig this December

Produced by Object & Animal and shot on location in Sweden, the sensual video in which Shygirl lays everything bare is the most intimate film we have seen from her to date. It follows fellow Nymph offerings “Nike” that premiered with Shygirl’s rapid fire COLORS performance of the song, “Coochie (a bedtime story),” which was featured as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record and currently sits on the B list at the station, “Come For Me,” produced by Arca, and “Firefly,” which arrived with visuals directed by Yasser Abubeker.

Coupled with the track and video, Shygirl was this week announced as Spotify’s new RADAR UK Artist to Watch. Spotify’s RADAR programme is committed to supporting emerging artists on their paths, helping rising talent at all stages of their development and strengthening their connection with their fans and new audiences. Moreover Shygirl was also this week revealed as one of the stars of the new Calvin Klein introduces Calvins or nothing Underwear campaign.

The 12-tracks of Nymph were created with a close-knit group of friends and previous collaborators including Sega Bodega, Karma Kid, Cosha, Mura Masa and as previously mentioned Arca. Shygirl also worked with producers Noah Goldstein, Danny L Harle, BloodPop, Vegyn and Kingdom. Nymph reveals Shygirl’s inner self-reflection in experimental vocal tones and deconstructed dance melodies and exhibits a new level of intimacy and emotional depth in her songwriting.

Nymph follows Shygirl’s collaborations with FKA twigs on the Caprisongs track “papi bones” and with Mura Masa on his tracks “bbycakes” and “hollaback bitch” along with the late 2021 offering “Cleo,” which arrived with a Trinity Ellis-directed music video as well as a live performance of the track from Abbey Road Studio as part of Studio 1’s 90th Anniversary programming. Also in 2021, Shygirl shared the slowthai collaboration “BDE” and the self-directed Burberry-styled short film, Shygirl BLU, a live realization of her universally-acclaimed ALIAS EP.

Since the ALIAS EP’s release, Shygirl has gone on to star in Burberry’s AW21 presentation, claim a coveted spot in Forbes’ 30 Under 30, grace the cover of multiple prestigious magazines including ES and V Magazine, and team up with Mura Masa to remix the Lady Gaga and Blackpink track “Sour Candy” for the praised Dawn of Chromatica album.

Shygirl is slated to play sets at Primavera Sound in Brazil, Chile, and Argentina this November. She will also make her homecoming to the UK to headline Printworks and Albert Hall in London and Manchester respectively in December of this year and will ring in 2023 with performances at Beyond the Valley and Field Day Festival in Australia.
