Carly Rae Jepsen Returns With Easy Disco Single ‘Shy Boy’

metroweekly.com:

Jepsen has built her brand with disco-leaning electro-pop in the past few years, soundtracking many a gay pregame. “Shy Boy” is, fittingly, more demure and quieter than some of her more bombastic and catchier cuts, but there’s still a time and place for it.

In fact, it’s great to hear her try new things in her sound without drifting too far from what fans have come to expect. Fellow pop stars, pay attention!Although Jepsen teased the music video for “Shy Boy” as she promoted the then-upcoming track, the visual was not released simultaneously with the song.

Instead, fans were treated to a simple visualizer, leaving them eagerly anticipating the full music video experience. At present, “Shy Boy” stands alone as an unattached single, seemingly unrelated to any upcoming album or project.

However, Jepsen has a history of delighting fans with collections of cast-offs and B-sides from her previous albums. So, it is entirely possible that she has plans to release a new compilation in the future.
