Emerging artist Shelly Perel has released her highly anticipated debut single, '12AM,' a tender alternative pop ballad that explores the themes of intimacy, tenderness, and the comforting embrace of a loving relationship.
'12AM' is a deeply personal creation, showcasing Shelly's raw vulnerability and emotional depth. The production, crafted with meticulous care, intertwines warm synth textures and delicate instrumentation, creating a sonic landscape that evokes a sense of romantic longing and gentle melancholy. Shelly's vocals, both ethereal and grounded, navigate the listener through a journey of love and security, leaving an indelible mark on the heart.
Despite being her debut single, Shelly has already garnered impressive recognition within the music industry. She has collaborated with renowned producers such as KUJI, Yarin Primak, and Sol Papkin, and has graced stages in Berlin and Amsterdam. Her music has resonated with audiences across Europe, earning airplay on prominent radio stations, including a BBC1 UK affiliate, and garnering praise from international publications.
'12AM' sets the stage for Shelly's forthcoming debut album, 'Patience And Stuff,' slated for release later this year. The track was produced by Golde, who co-produced the entire album with Shelly. The song, like the album, was mixed at the iconic Funkhaus studios in Berlin, adding to its sonic richness and depth.
Golde, reflecting on the creative process behind '12AM,' described it as a song that "produced itself." He explains, "I remember that when I was building the production, it didn't feel like I needed to think about what would sound good or which direction I wanted to take it. I just needed to let it come out, and layer by layer, it simply emerged as it was, like filling in a Sudoku puzzle."
Shelly's addition of vocals completed the puzzle, resulting in a song that resonates with authenticity and emotional power. Golde adds, "It's the kind of song that makes you understand why you do what you do and why you chose the path you chose."
With '12AM,' Shelly invites listeners into her intimate world, offering a glimpse into the depths of her artistry and the tender emotions that fuel her music. The single is a testament to her talent and potential, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the release of her debut album.
