“Shy” is out now via Defected, pairing Arielle Free’s house sound with raw voicemail lyrics.
Acclaimed BBC broadcaster and house music curator Arielle Free is back on Defected Records with “Shy,” her latest collaboration with boundary-pushing producer Might Delete Later. Out March 21, the record showcases a new sonic direction, blending live instrumentation with a high-energy, emotional house groove.
Might Delete Later is known for turning voicemails into music. In “Shy,” they draw lyrics from a heartfelt anonymous message about insecurity and self-acceptance—offering a deeply authentic layer to the track’s infectious topline.
Arielle’s star has continued to rise since her breakout 2023 single “Feels So Good,” with high-profile performances at Defected Croatia, Malta, and Ushuaïa Ibiza. “Shy” not only reflects her evolution as a producer but underscores her commitment to honest, emotive club music. 
To promote the single, the duo is taking their concept to the streets—inviting Londoners to share their own stories of vulnerability and empowerment.
If you’ve ever felt shy or struggled with self-acceptance, you’re invited to be part of the next track—just call +31658868630 and leave a voicemail.
“Shy” is available now on Defected Records, offering both a club-ready vibe and a moving message.
