London-based singer, rapper, producer, and DJ Shygirl has returned to announce a new EP titled Club Shy, out February 9th. She’s also shared a new single, “tell me,” featuring the German electronic producer Boys Noize. Stream it below.
Described in a press release as “an extension of Shygirl’s eponymous club experience,” Club Shy is named after Shygirl’s various club events held in London, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and Brazil over the last two years. Rather than leaning solely on her skills as a rapper, the EP finds Shygirl embracing her love of electronic and club-focused sounds and her curatorial ear. Shygirl produced the album alongside collaborators SG Lewis, Boys Noize, Kingdom, Empress Of, Lolo Zouaï, and Cosha.
“tell me,” the EP’s latest offering, is characterized by a thumping, euro-dance groove courtesy of Boys Noize. In her usual breathy, sultry cadence, Shygirl channels the throbbing patterns of a strobe light as she coos, “I’ll do anything.” The song builds to an ecstatic, freeing finale, complete with syncopated keyboard stabs and a hypnotic drum beat. Stream the song below, and keep scrolling for the Club Shy artwork and official tracklist.
The song follows previous Club Shy singles “thicc” with Cosha and “f@k€” featuring Kingdom — both of which were released in late 2023. Shygirls’ last album was her 2022 debut, Nymph. Shygirl also collaborated with Björk last year for a remix of her song “Woe (I See It from Your Side),” which arrived on the deluxe edition of Nymph.
