Just Shy, Silhouette | Track Review 🎵

Australian pop musician Just Shy serves up a confident, surefire pop-house banger with “Silhouette,” which you won’t be able to resist dancing to.

“I’m gonna take my top off on the dancefloor / No I’m not gonna drop off at the front door.” WOO! Question: Do you need a pop-house banger in your life? If the answer is YES – and it should totally be a HELL YES – then look no further than 🎵 “Silhouette”. “Silhouette” is the latest bop by the handsome, talented Australian pop artist, 🎙 Just Shy (John Rowley). Previously featured on The Musical Hype (🎵 “Hula Hoop Girl” was a bop in its own right), he brings the electricity once more on “Silhouette.” Rowley characterizes “Silhouette” as an emboldening, alluring and sexy aid to a big queer night out. Woo-hoo, it is TOTALLY giving that energy 💪 🌈 (“That particular joy I feel when boy meets a boy”)!

“Silhouette” is engaging from the onset – an understatement! It commences with a slick, rhythmic bass synth and, of course, the star of the show, Just Shy.  Rowley serves up a playful brand of vocals that are colorful and expressive.  He has plenty of confidence and personality – #SASSY – not to mention a beautiful tone. I love the fact that he embraces queer vibes, much like he describes the feel of the single.  He calls the single “a manifesto for how confident and free I want to feel when I’m out.” #BIG MOOD! Melodically, “Silhouette” is tuneful from the very beginning, another selling point.  Of course, the most tuneful moment comes by way of the chorus, the centerpiece, which absolutely slays.  Accentuating those memorable, utterly fierce lyrics are decadent horn lines. Just Shy penned this bop, while 🎛 Dion Shaw produced it, superbly I might add.

Final Thoughts 💭

Of this epic gem, Just Shy adds, “I hope this track can embolden people to embrace their full selves when they’re on a dancefloor.” 🎵 “Silhouette” certainly exudes confidence and there is NO way you can listen to it and not dance.  Maybe you keep your top 👕 on 😂, but still, given the assertive, confident lyrics, awesome vocals, and stellar production, you’ll be moving your body to this one.
