“BOY is a song about identity. About losing your sense of it. Who you are now and who you were then.” 

​

SHHE is the alter-ego of Scottish-Portuguese artist and producer SU Shaw. The musician only had to release one single, Eyes Shut, to find herself signing a record deal with One Little Indian Records and opening for Kathryn Joseph on her February UK tour.

Shaw wraps carefully constructed electronic soundscapes around delicate yet

self-assured vocals, and BOY is the next piece of the puzzle introducing

the world to the enigmatic SHHE.
 
“Sometimes we're unwilling to let go and sometimes we're unable to. Willingness and ability are different things. How do you give

yourself completely to someone when parts of you still

remain with someone else? How much of your

identity do you lose in the process?”
 
Despite the track’s lyrical premise, an accompanying video (featuring individuals from the Scottish Dance Theatre) offers a greater sense of SHHE’s story and identity, filmed in a forest in Fife, Scotland, where Shaw previously lived for seven years.

 

“Then things changed. A break - then a break up - then a break away from everything in my life at the time. Even before I finished work on the

track, I imagined making the video there.”

Shaw returned to the forest for the first time since everything changed to shoot the video, at once truly understanding the connection between the place and the song she had written. Shooting

the video was a catharsis for Shaw, capturing movement, change, unresolved feelings

and losing oneself following a dramatic life event.

SHHE is currently developing 'Dýrafjörður' - a live multi-sensory project combining sound, moving image and visual art in the Westfjords of Iceland, with support from Creative Scotland. Under previous incarnations, she toured extensively throughout the UK and Europe, receiving

acclaim on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio Scotland and KCSN in

Los Angeles.
