Singer-songwriter Ny Oh is returning with a luminous surge of energy. She announces her highly anticipated debut album, "Wildwood," for release on November 12th on SoundOn. And shares new single "Shine," a playfully rhythmic number that acts like a musical warm hug.
Teamed up with the Grammy-nominated Jonathan Wilson, known for his work with Father John Misty, Angel Olsen, and Conor Oberst, "Shine" presents another side of Ny Oh. It's deliciously fizzy while continuing down the wistful path carved out with her previous single "Aperture." Penned in her homeland of Aotearoa, the single is a blissful quilt of groove and warmth that exemplifies Ny Oh's ability to weave complex artistry with an inviting, human element. Each note rings with the care of an artist familiar with the importance of melody and rhythm, or its covert cousin.
The release is also accompanied by a hand-animated video made by UK visual artist May Kindred-Boothby, which perfectly complements the track's bubbly energy. It's a reminder that Ny Oh's artistry is not just in her music, it is in the worlds she conjures around it.
For Ny Oh, whose path has taken them from fronting the strange jazz collective Neon Gru to playing keyboards and singing backup vocals at Harry Styles's record-crushing stadium gigs to opening slots for acts like Margo Price and Madison Cunningham, this is an album that represents years of growth, exploration, and quiet mastery. "Shine" isn't just a song, it's an invitation. To groove, to smile, and to bask in the lustrous artistry of Ny Oh as she steps fully into her own spotlight.
