Artist of the Week is Lilla Shy

Our Artist of the Week is Lilla Shy.  

Lilla Shy’s latest single, ‘Ugly‘, is a heartfelt piano ballad that serves as an apology to herself. Co-produced by Mercury Prize-nominated Ed Harcourt, renowned for his work with Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Lana Del Rey, the track intertwines sweet vocals with raw lyrics, culminating in a powerful message of hope and self-love. 

‘Ugly’ challenges the notion that beauty is skin-deep, proposing instead that true beauty lies in courage, kindness, pride, perseverance, and strength. It’s a message that resonates deeply in an era obsessed with superficial perfection.

Over the past year, Lilla Shy has garnered significant radio support from John Kennedy at Radio X and Dean Jackson at BBC Introducing. Her music has also been featured on Spotify editorial playlists like Borderless, Fresh Finds, and New Music Friday. She recently performed at The London Palladium, supporting Matteo Bocelli and graced the stage at the Secret Garden Party festival.  

As she prepares to release her debut album, ‘Layers’, on September 20, 2024, Lilla invites listeners into a collection of stories that reveal her own human and musical facets. This album showcases a spectrum of emotions and genres, from the insecure, naive girl to the strong, proud woman, blending drum’n’bass with country-esque acoustic guitars.

Artist of The Week is Georgia Reed

Our Artist of the Week is Georgia Reed.

Georgia Reed is not your typical alt-pop artist. With an ethereal voice that seems to linger in the air long after the music fades, Reed has released her debut EP, ‘Haunted’. 

At the heart of Reed’s music is a sense of raw honesty and vulnerability, both of which are on full display in her focus track, ‘Truth’. Written during a period of self-discovery and reflection, ‘Truth’ explores the complexities of newfound independence with haunting instrumentals and Reed’s signature velvety vocals. 

Listen to ‘Truth’ here:  

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Reed took the reins of her EP’s production, recording vocals at home and collaborating with producer James Newhouse via Zoom. The result is a collection of songs that feel deeply personal and intimate, yet are universal in their themes. 

James Newhouse and mixer Sean Cook lent their expertise to the project, helping to shape the sound of ‘Haunted’ into something truly special. With credits that include working with the likes of Roger Waters and Hozier, it’s clear that Reed is in good company.
