Shae Brock presents a self-made world of story, color and sound in every piece of music she creates – a process she describes in almost mystical tones: "I can become different songs and different stories and feelings and characters - like one big painting with all different colors." She's not just your generic pop singer. Shae's recent collaborations with the likes of Gucci Mane brings us her new single, "Transparency," an arresting slow jam that gets its fire from the dreamy interplay between herself and Mane. "It brings both of our worlds together - there's a flavor of pop and a flavor of urban. I like the way these polar opposites merge," she says. . It was more than Brock had anticipated when she demoed the song. What young artist expects her track to be jumped on by one of America's most influential MCs? It happened when "Transparency" producer Blaze Crawford sent the track to Gucci, who quickly replied, "I want to do this – it's a hit." Brock remembers the session as surreal. "I didn't know what to expect when he walked in, but we hung out on the video shoot, and he was really sweet, really nice."What's in, are songs that tell stories, like those of her inspirations, who include Madonna, Stevie Nicks, and Lorde. Shae is currently working on a batch of new ones with Jim Greer (Foster the People, Yoko Ono), and her guitar playing will figure prominently. A single and an EP are penciled in for late 2018, and when she talks about what we can expect, she puts it this way: "I feel I have no boundaries. I like being myself in my work – it's an organic way of developing." Like the Arizona girl she is, she sees a limitless landscape.
