Fuchs 2 Live: Shygirl + more
Fuchs 2 Live: Shygirl + more
Since debuting in 2016, multidisciplinary British artist Shygirl has maintained the same ethos: that people are not two-dimensional. Her search for kindred spirits in the capital’s underground led her to co-founding one of the scene’s most vital collectives: the club label Nuxxe (with Sega Bodega and Coucou Chloe). At the helm, she shaped the label into a defining force that lived both on the fringes of pop and at the dark heart of club music. Shygirl‘s music is full of sex and club credibility; simultaneously, it can be irresistibly captivating and uncomfortably rude. Shygirl’s lyrics make the listener feel uncomfortable and sometimes even sick. Behind the first impression, however, a profound and philosophical artist is revealed who succeeds in turning the power dynamics of problematic situations around. The debut album Nymph, released in September 2022, ventures into the worlds of art pop, naturally combining glitch pop, garage, blog house, hip hop, reggaeton and r&b, with producers such as Arca, Mura Masa, Noah Goldstein and Vegyn. In recent years, Shygirl has collaborated with Björk, Arca, PinkPantheress, SOPHIE, FKA twigs, Sevdaliza, Eartheater and Erika de Casier among many others. Her growing global presence has found her collaborate with fashion houses like Mugler and Burberry, as well as her music being used in multiple campaigns for Fenty. Her work has appeared in press titles like Pitchfork, The New York Times, Dazed, The FADER and many more.
