Hampus Hjellström

Rising singer Sara Hjellström (aka SHY Martin) last month teamed up with fellow Swedish artist Robin Lundbäck (aka Boy In Space) for a new song called "Still the Same." Now, she's back with a dazzling new track called "can I call you back?"

The new song is actually a very personal one, as the singer reflects on her mental health struggles with a very delicate stream of consciousness. It's truly vulnerable and relatable.

"I remember first experiencing anxiety when I was turning 13," says the singer. "At the time I didn’t know what that feeling was, only that it made me very sad, and extremely lonely. Last year I decided to finally share my struggles with anxiety with the people who listen to my music. Even though I know mental illness is common, I never really understood how widespread it was until I started receiving lots of messages from people who were sharing their own stories and struggles. Starting that conversation felt so important for me, and to keep it going I need to keep being honest with my music. ‘can I call you back?’ is a continuation of that.”

As we previously mentioned, SHY Martin expects to release a new EP later this year. The new song is the latest preview of that project.
