After igniting the internet and earning acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, Ones to Watch and more, rising Australian-born, South African R&B singer and songwriter Shanae reveals a new single and music video entitled “leave it” today via Varick St. Listen to “leave it” HERE and watch it HERE.
In the haunting melody of “leave It,” (produced by Lauren Faith) Shanae delicately navigates the wreckage of a relationship’s demise, whispering to herself, “best I leave it alone,” amidst the skittering beat and airy, dreamy vocals, encapsulating the bittersweet resignation of letting go.
It lands in the wake of her breakout singles, “am i dumb?/am i done” released late last year, and “outside” released last month. Both singles entranced audiences with her captivating storytelling and soulful vocals. Garnering acclaim from both fans and critics alike, her music has been hailed for its euphoric energy and raw emotional depth. Vice raved, “You can feel this through every riff, run and harmony: Shanae sings like it’s the last thing she’ll ever do.”
With “leave it,” she invites listeners to join her on a journey of liberation and empowerment, as she embraces her newfound identity and artistic vision. As she continues to push the boundaries of her artistry, Shanae remains a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
