Ooooooh! This new song from SHELLS is just brilliant.

She has just released her new single "Mexico" and it's such a captivating listen. The brief, three-minute cut showcases only minimal instrumentation, anchored firmly in the singer's mind-blowing vocals, which build and build and then quickly soar as the song progresses, making for a sort of Lana Del Rey meets Maren Morris magic.

"I was reading the book Women Who Run With The Wolves the day writer/producer James Earp and I wrote 'Mexico,'" she says of the new song. "I had just read the chapter about 'La Loba,' a wild, wolf-woman who practiced magic in the deserts and mountains of Northern Mexico. The previous week, writer/producer Paul O’Duffy had shown me a backstage video of Stevie Nicks singing ‘Wild Heart’ whilst having her make-up done. 'Don’t blame it on me, blame it on my wild heart,' she sang. ‘Mexico' was inspired by La Loba, Stevie Nicks, and fundamentally, the heart's desire to love freely, and to be liberated."
