The Dublin artist Shiv impressed us with her debut track ‘Here’, a smooth and bright R&B track that suggested a new talent on the horizon.
With the followup, ‘Golden’, released today, Shiv moves things in a more melodic and textured direction while keeping that brightness and smoothness at its core. ‘Golden’ glides along on gentle chords and drums, another fine step forward for this nascent performer.
Check the video below for some summery homemade golden vibes.
