In her new single “Shiny Things,” she teams up with Gilbert Ray, and both artists bring their A-game to this track. The song starts softly, with a soothing melody soon joined by Polartropica’s unmistakable voice, both comforting and upbeat, adding a playful tone to the melody. There’s a touch of Americana in the melody, likely thanks to Gilbert, which complements Polartropica’s dreamy style perfectly. Banjo and guitars mix harmoniously with the electric guitar, giving the track both warmth and energy.
“This song is about eventually finding it in your heart to learn and grow from all the hard lessons, and finally let go with a sense of understanding and acceptance, which is a journey in itself, and coming back home to yourself with love and forgiveness.”
— Polartropica
The music video feels like a full-on adventure with pirates and cowboys crossing paths in the middle of the desert. It’s a colorful, visually striking piece that moves from sweeping dunes to a wild west-style cantina, all infused with a sense of fun and fantasy. Polartropica and Gilbert’s chemistry makes it clear they had a great time bringing this world to life. Filmed and directed by Tristan Pelletier on one of the hottest days of summer, the result is cinematic, playful, and unmistakably Polartropica. “Shiny Things” truly shines. It is a playful and uplifting tune to brighten your mood.
