Shaina Hayes’ single Timid is a sparkling indie‑pop song for the soft‑spoken, introverted folks among us. It celebrates the inner world — the quiet, fertile place where ideas take shape — while offering a gentle nudge to let those ideas step into the light.
The band of Montréal all-stars — Francis Ledoux on drums, Étienne Dupré on bass, David Marchand on electric guitar, and Lysandre Ménard on upright piano — was recorded live in Montréal. Their playing brings a slightly more indie, rough‑around‑the‑edges energy than Shaina’s previous releases, giving Timid a breezy looseness without straying from the singer-songwriter’s melodic warmth. Cascading stacks of Shaina’s silky vocals sit atop the band, giving the track her signature shimmering sweetness.
Timid is best enjoyed with sunshine, your favorite fizzy bevy, and both windows rolled all the way down.
