Single Review: Under My Skin

Wellington based band Shivers released their latest single Under My Skin on the 8th of November.

Formed in 2018, Shivers consists of vocalist Timmy Porter, multi-instrumentalist Adrian Win and drummer Rick Cranson. In 2021, the group won the Tiny Triumph Recordings ‘Ultimate Music Production Competition’ with their single Runaway. The duo have also released drum and bass track Right of Way, a collaboration with Auckland based Sly Chaos which has clocked over 300, 000 Spotify streams and reached number 6 on the New Zealand Hot Singles Chart.

The group’s latest offering is a chill, easy listening track. The listener is eased into Under My Skin with soft vocals and simple instrumentation. The track then builds nicely with the addition of bass in the pre-chorus, before the listener is lead into a bigger chorus with full sounding, well produced instrumentation.

Porter’s vocals are strong, soulful, and pleasing on the ears. Under My Skin would be the perfect addition to your summer playlist at your next BBQ.

The group are set to release their debut EP in 2023. I look forward to seeing what else Shivers brings us.
