Shye makes a love confession in new dream-pop single 'can't you see' — listen

Shye is back with her first release of the year. 

Released on 5 April, 'can't you see' is a dream-pop number that is influenced by the music of artists such as boy pablo, Clairo, Dayglow, and Rex Orange County.

The homegrown singer-songwriter and producer explained: "My 9LIVES EP, released last October, went down a more distorted alternative rock route. It was almost the polar opposite of the kind of music that I made when I was first releasing music — dream-pop, a genre that I always somehow make my way back to. The light synth bells were a sound I used in my debut EP Augus7ine."

Lyrically, the track centres around Shye's attempts to confess her feelings to a special someone who does not seem to reciprocate her love. 

The release of 'can't you see' comes after Shye represented Singapore on the reality talent survival series Chuang Asia: Thailand.
