It's increasingly tough being a new act with a first track really able to be loved (the influx of impressive debuts make it harder for any in particular to stand out). With "GOLD", the entrance song from UK-based newcomer SHELLS, though, we'd say she's ripe to become a favorite new act, because it really is one of the most impactful debuts of the year. "['Gold'] is about love enabling us to overcome obstacles. It’s asking for love to put us in black and white, to simplify a difficult situation by highlighting the things that matter, and helping us to let go of the things that don’t." Whether through her convictions in her songwriting, or the gorgeous, heart-achingly good production here, there's no doubt "GOLD" is a special song from a special upcoming artist, so get in tune with it, and find some dates she's playing if you happen to be in the UK.
