There’s been this huge, huge funk and soul revival really making its way to the front of the stage as of late. It’s always been there, but it’s only been recently that artists have really honed into this genre, and hey, we’re not complaining!
SHY LUV, a three piece from London/Leeds, have been busy doing their thing. They’re out with their debut single, ‘Caught Up On You’, and it’s definitely been worth the wait.
Comprising of Karma Kid, vocalist Ryan Ashley and producer Jake Norman, the trio have been working hard on their debut EP. 'Caught Up On You' is the first slice off the EP of the same title. This will be out on June 8 via their own white label imprint, Shy Luv Recording's
Channeling some really fresh vibes that feel like something coming straight from JUNGLE’s debut LP, Shy Luv have done well in creating a sound of their own.
There are a few parallels within their sound to others out there, but it’s the production that really does it for me. They’re really big on playing with layers and sounds, and I think this is why the ensemble singing in the chorus works so well too.
Playing on rather eclectic electro sounds and pairing them with some light, flute-esque synths, ‘Caught Up On You’ is the perfect blend of pop, a bit of funk and a heap of dance vibes.
Shy Luv have exploded onto the scene, and we’re only more keen to hear what the boys have to share in the future.
