Shi has recorded three singles; Keep It Running, Feelin Fine, and Our Vibe. And now she is excited to
release her first EP! To be SHI is an expressive R&B Ep that consists of heartbreak, social experiences, and life lessons while also incorporating the complex personality of the artist SHI herself. âCTRLâ which is the first song on the Ep gives the listener a warm and inviting sensation allowing you to sit back, relax, and vibe with SHI. While also hitting you with the hidden intensity that the lyrics have to offer. âGame Changerâ and â Love Me Nowâ open up the complicated relationships that the artist SHI has encountered as a teenager, feeding you organic emotions that might confuse a first time listener, but as you re- listen and dive deeper into the lyrics these convoluted love songs start to make sense and expose the development of young love in todayâs society. âAfro Puffsâ is a coming of age song that highlights the development of SHI as a young West- Indian/ African American child. Showcasing the trials and tribulations of a young chocolate soul. âConfusedâ recognizes the heartbreak in SHIâs life, from the over contemplation and regret that surfaces in the lyrics. The last song âSMOKEâ was created to halt the convoluting thoughts that are constantly mentioned within the EP. Itâs simply a song of encouragement that carries nothing but raw emotion and a reminder that SHI donât bangs with none of these hoes.
