Fast-rising UK singer-songwriter bshp has dropped her new single ‘STFU’, out 18th February on SoundOn by TikTok/ Outcry.
Underpinned by her soaring, pitch-perfect vocals, ‘STFU’ is a heart-on-sleeve ballad that sees bshp take a stand against her ex partners’ inefficiencies. Shot in her own apartment, the accompanying official video centres around a piece-to-camera that accentuates the personal nature of the lyrics.
Her first track of the new year, it follows on from her most recent singles ‘Every Song’ and ‘Solid Gold’, collaborations with Duvall and Disciples respectively, that have racked up over 10 million combined Spotify streams.
“‘STFU’ was written when I was obviously pissed off with someone,” bshp explains. “I’ve had my fair share of bad relationships, and I think being in controlling, dictatorial situations is something a lot of people have experienced. But I remember being in the studio with people I trusted and we wanted to create a light hearted spin on being in that type of relationship and how to take your power back. There was a-lot of emotional sentiment to that song, despite it sounding sassy and like I didn’t care.”
Pop powerhouse bshp burst onto the scene in 2020 and has shown no signs of letting up ever since. A vocalist, writer and arranger, the British artist has LA hip-hop and Atlanta R&B running through her veins, with debut single ‘Kissing You’ racking up over 3 million Spotify streams. She’s received the nod from tastemaker outlets such as GQ, Guap, Wonderland and Clash, turning all the right heads with her distinctive and delightful vocal stylings.
Kicking off the new year in style, ‘STFU’ is the work of an artist destined for big things in 2022.
