Backed by a mission that keeps her rooted in inspiration and hope, Shannon Tehya is an artist pursuing music for love, working herself towards a joyful dream. With her forthcoming album on the horizon, Shannon’s music continues to empower those who feel put into boxes, proving that it doesn’t matter who you are or what you do, you deserve support.
The artist’s latest single is ‘Stay’, a track which sees an enamoured Shannon deliver an enchanting vocal performance that evokes a palatable rawness and maturity. Taking a poignant balance of wistful contentment and crushing heartbreak, the track feels like it’s grappling with reality, unable to discern between a deep romantic desire and the truth that surrounds it. Steadily building around her lead vocal, the instrumentation almost acts as a second protagonist, with the lead guitar unable to speak to Shannon in a way she’ll understand, pouring out the same expressive melodies with the same emotional torrent. A story perfectly told through folk-pop songwriting, Shannon’s message of hope and positivity is enforced once again.
Shannon shares, ”My second single off of Tangled String, “Stay,” expresses my feelings of yearning and unrequited love. The song equally evokes feelings of heartache and hopefulness, and I hope listeners will allow the gooey instrumentation to melt over them. I encourage you to sit back and listen with your eyes closed to the intricate harmonies and dramatic build of the song.”
