Music: Shed in Sound: Shye Sheds Light on Self-Discovery

Shye—born Trinity Shye-Anne Brown—is a Singaporean singer-songwriter celebrated for her deeply personal, genre-blending sound that fuses indie pop with alt-rock, neo-soul, folk-rock, electronic, and R&B influences. Entirely self-taught, she writes, records, produces, mixes, and masters her own music, crafting a uniquely DIY aesthetic that is both intimate and expansive. Rising to prominence when she won the Vans Musicians Wanted competition at just 16, she has since released full-length albums and EPs, served as one of the voices for Singapore’s National Day theme song in 2021, toured internationally, and earned recognition such as Best New Act from Asia at the NME Awards 2022. Her momentum continues strong into 2025, with new singles leading up to a mini-album, headline shows across Asia, and appearances at major fashion and music events.

“Shed” is Shye’s newest single, set for release at midnight, teased with the evocative line: “you see me the way I see you – ‘Shed’ out at midnight wherever you are.” The title suggests themes of transformation and release—an exploration of leaving behind what no longer serves—and aligns with her poetic sensibility, as reflected in sentiments like “maybe it’s time to learn to live with the skin we will never shed.” The track continues her streak of introspective songwriting paired with dreamy, atmospheric sonics.
