Arielle Free & Might Delete Later Turn Confessions Into Club Heat with “Shy” on Defected
Out on Defected, “Shy” draws from real voicemail stories and brings a fresh twist to emotional house.
Out March 21 on Defected Records, “Shy” sees BBC host and club favorite Arielle Free collaborate with the ever-inventive Might Delete Later on a deeply personal house track that channels real emotions through vibrant production.
Building off her standout 2023 release “Feels So Good,” Arielle continues her upward path with a song that fuses live instrumentation, upbeat rhythms, and a topline built from an anonymous voicemail. That message, part of Might Delete Later’s crowd-sourced story project, reflects on insecurities in new relationships and the safety of solitude.
As Might Delete Later invites listeners to call +31658868630 and share personal stories, “Shy” becomes part of a larger movement—turning raw confession into communal experience.
The release follows Arielle’s packed calendar of sets across Defected’s top festivals and Ibiza residency, and underscores her range as both a DJ and creator.
To bring the message to life, the duo will engage with strangers in London, collecting more real stories to fuel future tracks.
“Shy” is a moment of honesty dressed in a dancefloor-ready groove—a modern anthem of vulnerability and self-reflection.
