late night thoughts is shy’s boldest, most openly emotional, brave and beautiful work to date. An album dealing with topics including mental health, recovery, and the search for happiness, late night thoughts presents shy as she’s always wanted to be heard. Talking about the process of making the album, shy explains:
‘There weren’t any rules. If something suited the song and I could deliver emotion, then that was enough. I wanted the album to sound raw, like I had recorded it in my bedroom. When I wrote the songs, it felt like a safe space, like we weren’t even working. And that’s what I wanted the songs to sound like in the end’.
late night thoughts represents an example of pop world-building at its best, creating a fresh realm for fans to enter but it also represents a personal reset, the beginning of a new chapter in shy’s life. shy says
‘When I look back at my old songs, it feels like I'm looking back at the younger version of myself. This feels like where I am at the moment. It’s a new era, creatively. The biggest thing this process has taught me is just enjoy it… enjoy these years, where I get to do what I love’.
