Shaina Hayes returns with Steady, the beautifully understated final preview of her forthcoming third studio album Take the Case of a Rose, arriving via Bonsound November 13th on LP, CD and digital format.
Built around the overwhelming stillness that can accompany indecision, Steady explores those moments when the desire to move forward is complicated by an inability to determine which direction to take.
Where much of her previous material has drawn upon the warmth of acoustic guitars and subtly expansive folk arrangements, Steady introduces a particularly revealing change in perspective. At its centre is an upright piano performed by acclaimed Montreal musician and actress Lysandre Ménard, whose expressive playing provides the song with its emotional foundation.
Accompanying this release is the announcement of a four-date UK tour in February and March 2027, during which she will bring her distinctive blend of contemporary folk, intimate storytelling and quietly affecting songwriting to audiences in London, Brighton, Manchester and Glasgow. This will be followed by a tour across Quebec, including an album launch show at the Fairmount Theatre, Montreal on April 22nd.
