Shygirl invites the listener to let go of their inhibitions on new single, "thicc"
Following the announcement of the UK leg of her Nymph Part 2 world tour, Shygirl has shared the brand new single, "thicc".
“Originally a song we’d made around the same time as some of the album tracks but I decided to hold this one back, I’ve enjoyed teasing this one at festivals and shows while still in demo mode for over a year already with the idea of somehow infusing the energy of the crowd into this final version of the song - thicc is fun and carefree and definitely a tease - all the classic traits of club shy infused into one track," Shygirl explains.
Earlier this year, Shygirl’s debut album Nymph was shortlisted for the 2023 Mercury Prize Albums of the Year and saw Shgirl receive the AIM UK Independent Breakthrough award. The musician also opened up for Beyoncé for her Renaissance stop in London and released Nymph_o, a deluxe version of her well-received debut album. Nymph_o, features Björk, Tinashe, Arca, Erika de Casier, Eartheater, Fatima Al Qadiri and more.
"thicc" is out now. Her UK tour begins on 2 December at Drumsheds in London.
