Striking while the iron is hot, the multi-faceted, ever evolving Shay Lia gets dancefloors moving with new single ‘ON THE LOW’ out now. Produced by long-time collaborator Kaytranada, this is the latest single from her upcoming LP FACETS, due for release on 20th October.

Through ‘ON THE LOW’, Shay uses her hushed vocals to question her lover’s intentions and express frustration with the on again/off again nature of their entanglement, “All the games you play, I dare you tell the truth,” she challenges. Shay finds herself in comfortable territory amongst the instrumental which provides the infectiously funky backdrop we are used to hearing her against. Production is provided by Kaytranada, this release being the duo’s 10th collaboration and a true testament to their undeniable chemistry. The winding bassline, paired with melodic flourishes and Shay’s alluring vocal make for the perfect combination to have feet moving and hips swaying across dancefloors globally.

Shay gives insight into the partnership with long-time collaborator Kaytranada, sharing that ‘ON THE LOW’ “demonstrates our respective growth patterns as artists.” She continues: “When you listen to it, you can tell we have both been explorative in our growth over time. This production sat on my computer for years and it wasn’t connecting for me until I saw Kaytra in Paris this past June. I felt reinspired and we were able to tap back into our natural way of collaborating and sharing a frequency.”

Speaking on her upcoming album FACETS and its title, Shay Lia explains the project “speaks to all of the lives I’ve lived in different cities, countries, times and spaces. It’s impossible for me to sit comfortably in one specific genre because while my vision is clear, my influences and experiences are layered… it’s an intentional demonstration of all sides of me and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it, feel it and see parts of themselves in it.”
