Danish indie pop outfit Shy Shy Shy just dropped their new single Someone Else to announce the release of the debut album Make Up, due March 2nd. The band draws influence from the likes of HAIM and Ariel Pink to create their upbeat and hook-driven sound. Someone Else is an easy-listening indie track carried by delicate vocals and playful Dire Straits-esque guitar work. Producer Rune Borup helped develop their sound and crafted the music’s arrangement, featuring intricate string instrumentation underpinned by walking bass lines and shuffling rhythms.
Singer Astrid Cordes has commented on the song, “It’s a song about being lonely and unpopular. It’s about trying to justify it and convince yourself that you don’t need love from someone else. Despite the quite goofy sound it’s actually a rather sad song. It’s one big lie – everyone needs love from Someone Else”
