Hailing from Cambridge, New York, rising artist Shannon Tehya recently shared ‘Bitter Boys’, an electrifying, satirical triumph that dances with defiance and searing honesty. She infuses her music with inspiration and hope, aiming to leave a positive impact on the world.

Shannon’s emotive vocals waltz gracefully through the song, weaving between the graceful ebbs and dramatic flows of her performative delivery. Sparse yet atmospheric, the tension-building arrangements amplify the lyrical potency of Shannon’s introspective musings.

‘Bitter Boys’ begins with bouncing piano chords that set a playful yet poignant stage. As the track unfolds, roaring distorted guitar licks burst forth like lightning, electrifying the astute observations embedded in Shannon’s lyrics. This musical juxtaposition between delicate vulnerability and assertive power embodies the very essence of the song. It’s a bold declaration, a satirical letter aimed at all the men who ever dared to dim her spirit. With unwavering support and a message that resonates deeply, Shannon Tehya is undoubtedly poised for rising star status. ‘Bitter Boys’ is a dazzling glimpse into the electrifying artistry that awaits on her forthcoming album.

“Bitter Boys is a satirical letter to all the men who have ever tried to break my spirit. I started dancing in a strip club when I was 18 years old. In a weird way, that choice saved my life. However, it also exposed me to a lot of really unwell people and toxic masculine energy, which is what this song speaks to.”
