Swedish popster SHY Martin has dropped her brand new single, ‘Break With Me’.
The track – a twinkly but haunting bedroom pop gem – comes with news that she’s also starting her own record company, SHY Recordings.
“This year has been overwhelming in many ways,” she explains. For the first time in years, I have spent a lot of time with myself and taken the space to reflect. I have thought a lot about how these strange times we are in have changed so many relationships, some that have become stronger, and others that have broken down. We started writing “Break With Me” one summer evening in the car on the way home from a lake, but I relate to it now more than ever.”
“During the year, I also thought about how I want to work with my music and chose to start my own record label to have full freedom every step of the way. This is the first song I will release on my own label, so it feels very special.”
The song comes with a video comprised of a collection of clips filmed by SHY Martin and friends from around the time the single came to life during the pandemic in Stockholm.
“When I was growing up, my parents had a video camera with them wherever we went, so handycams always give me a feeling of nostalgia. After watching old videos from my childhood, I decided to buy one myself to capture moments here and there. The video that my brother and I put together for “Break With Me” is a collection of clips from the time we created the song “, she says.
