Indie Folk from Raven Shelley

Manchester-based artist Raven Shelley is a self-described misfit who takes influence from the likes of Bob Dylan and Ani DiFranco to create her own style of whimsical folk pop music. Originally growing up in the south of France, Raven taught herself English literature from an early age, then going on to study the subject at University.

From there her passion for writing poetic lyricism was born, with the artist commenting, “all the hurt, all the anger, all the love, everything that runs through me can be found somewhere in my lyrics, because to write something real, you have to pour yourself onto the page and into the songs.” As soon as she moved to the UK from France she founded her own band, fronting the outfit as the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist where she first cut her teeth playing her own original material.

Making her introduction as a solo artist, in June this year she released her debut single “Sink in Solitude” via The Animal Farm imprint. Now she’s back with her follow up and brings us her sophomore track with the new single titled “Do You Miss Me Yet?”.

After the success of her debut, which caught the attention of fans around the world and gained extensive radio support, with her new single Raven Shelley builds on her poignant songwriting to deliver a delightful indie folk outing that’s as appealing as it is original. Led by her delicate vocal work carrying heart-on-sleeve lyrical honesty, “Do You Miss Me Yet?” holds a charming sound full of bright jangly instrumentation on a song that sees a talented artist continue to go from strength-to-strength.
