Shards Releases Soulful Single "Elevator" Worldwide

The independent music scene welcomes an exciting new release from Shards, a 29-year-old solo artist hailing from Naples, Italy. Known for writing, singing, and producing all of their own music, Shards has crafted a track that embodies the complexity and raw emotion of life's journey. The new single, titled Elevator, is now available globally on all streaming platforms and digital stores.

Shards’ artistic roots lie in a love for pop music, drawing inspiration from various genres while maintaining a personal and authentic sound. George Michael, the all-time favourite artist of this talented musician, has clearly influenced Shards' ability to balance meaningful lyrics with engaging melodies.

Elevator is a poignant exploration of human insecurities and the ongoing struggle to find one's identity amidst life's inevitable ups and downs. The metaphor of an elevator aptly captures these fluctuations, presenting listeners with a relatable and reflective narrative. The inspiration for the song struck during a seemingly mundane moment—riding an elevator to a family dinner at Shards' aunt’s home. This setting sparked a connection to a phrase frequently spoken by Shards’ mother: “In your life, you’ll be having tons of ups and downs.”

This maternal wisdom became the cornerstone of the track, woven into the heartfelt chorus: “Remember what mommy used to say: This life is like an elevator that lifts you up then drags you down.” As Shards recounts, this line felt so natural and resonant that it became a defining feature of the song, bridging personal memory with universal truth.

With Elevator, Shards offers listeners not only a melodic journey but also a reminder of resilience and self-discovery. The track's rich production and vocal delivery underscore its emotional depth, making it a standout addition to any playlist.

Fans of introspective pop music will find Elevator inspiring and deeply personal, while newcomers to Shards' music will be introduced to a fresh voice in the independent music scene. This release marks another step in a promising career for an artist unafraid to share vulnerability and strength through their art.
