Canadian singer-songwriter Myles Lloyd is a bright spark in the music industry. Merging the characteristics of R&B and pop seamlessly, Lloyd has been demanding the attention of tastemakers and listeners, racking up millions of streams in the process. The artist has been constructing an impressive discography, with two bodies of work to his name to date – 2019’s debut Goodbye and its follow up last year, Forever, Yours.

Lloyd is now back for his first song of the year, and the first glimpse into his sonic progression following last year’s album. “SHADOWS” is a sultry, ethereal R&B jam that draws on a classic sound and brings it into the modern day. The silky-smooth production brings out the best in the instrumental palette, with hazy synths and snappy percussion offering a sonic backdrop that perfectly fits the vocal prowess of Lloyd. His performance is full of emotion and expression, with Lloyd providing a gorgeous narrative about being the best that you can be and embracing the flaws of yourself and others.

Speaking on the single, Lloyd comments, “I don’t think I can ever leave the negative thoughts aside entirely and this song is explaining just that. I just have to learn to live with it and embrace my flaws. Shadows will always follow.” “SHADOWS” narrates the idea that, sometimes, our actions implement our feelings, rather than our truth. In an ode to empowerment.I hope this song encourages others to recognise if you have any flaws or stuff that you should work on and get right to it. Don’t wait to be your best self.”
