Skylar Simone Releases New Song ‘Shiver’

R&B newcomer Skylar Simone has released her new song “Shiver.” It’s her first single on Def Jam Recordings.

On the airy, sensuous track, produced by D’Mile, Simone sings about the bodily quakes her partner gives her in the bedroom. “You know what I like when I shiver,” she coos in a whispery tone.

Regarding the song’s inspiration, Simone shares, “I wanted to find that perfect blend of the ’90s R&B I grew up listening to and next wave / forward sonics and lyricism that I feel ultimately represent the artist I am, and am striving to be.”

She continues, ‘Shiver’ is a song from a strong, feminine perspective about communicating how you want to feel. I hope people can relate to it in their own individual way, and that it makes them feel empowered, sexy, and confident.”

“Shiver” is the lead single and title track to Simone’s upcoming EP, due in June. The five-track project will consist of additional production by D’Mile, with contributions from Scribz Riley and Talay Riley.

According to press materials, Shiver explores “themes of love of another and the self, and acting from a place of heartbreak and confidence.”
