Swedish pop sensation SHY Martin returns with her new single “Break With Me” (written by SHY Martin, Nirob Islam, Hampus Hjellström and Litens Anton Nilsson. Produced by SHY Martin, Felix Flygare Floderer and Carl Silvergran). The song emerged from reflections on how the past year has affected our relationships – those that have strengthened us and those that have broken us down. SHY Martin’s bold lyrics and vulnerable melodic vocals hover over a dreamy guitar-based bedroom pop production as she takes us through the intoxicating mixed emotions that arise when two people become strangers from one another. In connection with the release, SHY Martin reveals that she is starting her own record company, SHY Recordings.
Speaking on the track and the launch of the label, SHY reveals: “This year has been overwhelming in many ways. 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 single is released alongside a music video consisting 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”, SHY shares, “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 “
