Single Review: Restless

Canadian born New Zealand raised singer-songwriter Keeley Shade has just dropped her latest single Restless. Keeley may have a small following at present, but she has a mighty sound representing a “niche brand of DIY female artist/producer in an Indie-Pop/Rock genre”.

Restless is a soft pop and folk melody infused with a light touch of indie rock. Shade has a talent for lyrical storytelling, she has delivered a reflective and sincere account of the apprehension of your future in your 20’s. The vocals, harmony and instrumentals combine to create a delicate soundscape.

This track applauds modern electro pop stripped back to gentle harmony and stirring instrumental arrangement. There is a tenderness to her vocals which effortlessly wash over you.

Keeley Shade is giving new meaning to ‘independent artist’ from writing, producing, and mixing to designing nearly all her promotional artwork. Restless was mastered by Kog Studio.

Shade is going from strength to strength and is an up-and-coming musical artist to watch out for.
