Carly Harpur Hollander is an earnest romantic on "Little Less Shy." With a brazenly glossy production, Hollander captures a genuine exuberance that evokes the sweet innocence of artists like Carly Rae Jepsen and HAIM. There’s not a trace of irony to be found, as Hollander is always in full command of the song’s slinky, widescreen hooks with heart-swelling joy.
"Little Less Shy" is the first single off of Hollander’s debut EP, Turn Down Your Mind, Open Your Eyes, which is due out later this year. Listen to the track here.
