Shriya Her Cover Art


Shriya's newly released single, "Her," has swept audiences off their feet with its emotive, heartfelt storytelling, a product of the painful heartbreak she underwent at only 16 years old. Using song as her emotional outlet, Shriya gives the listener a painfully raw account of an aching heart in recovery from the deception, betrayal, and infidelity of an unfit partner. As listeners, we are united in our experiences of lost trust between the special figures and loved ones in our lives through Shriya's vulnerability and evocative words. Shriya describes the constant "waiting", or hoping, for her partner to give her the love and care she deserves, capturing the devastation and frustration that comes with being left on the sidelines of one's own relationship. The melancholic chords, intricate lyrics, and beautifully honesty delivery transform Shriya's into a delicate, yet moving piece that we can't help but fall in love with, even if it makes our hearts ache with her own.





"Her" is a lyrical masterpiece that tugs hard at our heart strings and leaves its painful melody engraved in our heads. The soft, yet commanding piano sets the mood for the piece, offering us a gentle relief from our emotional wounds. As Shriya dips in and out of her light, airy tone and ethereal falsetto throughout the song, we can almost feel the fragility of one's heart as she wears her own on her sleeve. Her effortless riffs strengthen the narrative, powerfully grasping our attention and captivating us with her every word. Each time the chorus is repeated, the listener can't help but fall deeper into Shriya's entrancingly relatable lyrics and reflect on their own hardships. "Her" is a song that masterfully conveys the familiar weight of an emotional burden through Shriya's astounding vocal agility, story depth, and sincerity.


Early in her pop career, this rising pop artist has made significant strides in the diverse world of pop, curating a spunky, authentic style reflective of her depth as a musician! 18-year-old Shriya is known for her fusing of Indian pop with rich soul, R&B, and jazzy elements to create lasting, passion-filled tracks for her audience.
