It's been a good minute since we've checked in with Shy Girls, but with his latest album Salt on the horizon, now's as good a time as any to see what the Pennsylvania native has been cooking up. He's already prefaced the release with three other singles, "I Am Only A Man," "Trivial Motion" and "Why I Love," and it looks like the singer-songwriter is working well within the style that made us put our Bounce-Worthy stamp on him back in 2013. Now, as we prepare for Salt, he gives us one last single, "Say You Will."

"Say You Will" finds Shy Girls (real name: Dan Vidmar) showing just how deftly he can fuse pop stylings and R&B leanings. Emotive guitars lead off the track as his vocal begins almost immediately. "Inch by inch, we drift apart / You feel it," he sings, setting the stage for what could be a melancholy melody. However, while the lyrics paint a picture of a couple gradually growing apart, the gloomy feel of the verses is brightened by a chorus that picks up in pace, with the drums leading the tempo. This juxtaposition further illustrates the themes of the song, with things seemingly happy with the couple when they're out but a growing loneliness seeping in whenever they're one-on-one.

While the song exemplifies the well-crafted songwriting we've come to expect from Shy Girls, we're really looking forward to what he'll bring when the album arrives on January 27th. Before we get our hands on that, though, check out the full stream of "Say You Will." Oh, and be sure to catch Shy Girls during one of his seven tour dates this winter, which can be found below.
