Swedish pop artist, shy martin has released her new single, “glued to the floor” alongside a new music video today. The track is taken from her upcoming album, late night thoughts, out May 19th via The Orchard. Serving as the follow-up to “late night thoughts”, the new track is a stripped down, emotionally vulnerable confession. Listen to it now below.
Speaking about her new single, shy said, “’glued to the floor’ was the last song written for the album. It kind of sums up how I felt for a really long time. When we first started working on the album I was in a really weird headspace. I had just started with antidepressants for the first time and it had such a huge impact on how I felt at the time so I really wanted to write about it. For years, my fans have been sharing their stories and struggles with me, creating this safe and nonjudgmental space that I’m very thankful for. It’s really special and has inspired me a lot.”
late night thoughts is shy martin’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. The album represents an example of pop world-building at its best, creating a fresh realm for fans to enter, as well a personal reset, the beginning of a new chapter in shy’s life.
shy explains, “When I look back at my old songs, it feels like I’m looking back at the younger version of myself. And this feels like this music is where I am at the moment. It’s a new era, creatively. The biggest thing this process has taught me to just enjoy it… to enjoy these years, where I get to do what I love.”
