Music by ShyBoy®
ShyBoy blends noir atmosphere, emotional tension, and hypnotic rhythm across both his solo work and as lead singer and co-founder of the alternative rock band Hypnogaja. His single “Walk Don’t Run” appears in Bryan Fuller’s Dust Bunny, a New York Times Critic’s Pick, and was praised by Larry Flick as “less a pop song and more an experience.” His work spans solo releases, film and television, and the Emmy-nominated Queer For Fear, with music featured in RuPaul’s Drag Race, Dynasty, America’s Next Top Model, and more.
His latest solo album, His Royal Shyness (King Size Edition), explores intimacy and desire through a lush cinematic pop lens. Across his catalog, ShyBoy’s music has amassed millions of streams and appeared in major films, television, and games, including Devil May Cry 4 and Halloween. Hypnogaja’s latest release, My Dreams Have Teeth, marks the band’s first full-length album in over a decade. His remix credits include RuPaul’s “Everybody Say Love” and Donna Summer’s “Supernatural Love.”
Out Now: Hypnogaja - My Dreams Have Teeth
“A cinematic, genre-fluid sound marked by tension, control, and precision.”
“Luscious and haunting in equal parts, Hypnogaja reinvents their commanding musical presence framed by atmospheric sonics and emotive songwriting.”
“Frontman ShyBoy remains the gravitational center. His voice carries weight, not just technically, but emotionally. ”
My Dreams Have Teeth, Hypnogaja’s first full-length album in over a decade, is a sharp statement layered with electronic texture and rhythmic detail. Tracks such as “Open/Wide,” “Escalate,” and “Pictures of a Perfect You” pair immediacy with controlled intensity, while “Is It a Crime?”, a reinterpretation of the Sade classic, highlights Hypnogaja’s ability to reshape familiar material without losing identity.
ShyBoy - Walk Don’t Run (from the Motion Picture “Dust Bunny”)
“The moody and atmospheric single ‘Walk Don’t Run’ by ShyBoy, which is featured in Bryan Fuller’s dark motion picture thriller ‘Dust Bunny,’ is less a pop song and more an experience. The track sneaks up on you, as slow-burn percussion builds tension, smoky guitars create an undercurrent of noir. ShyBoy’s deep and gravelly voice sits low before blooming into something soulful and defiant. It’s a compelling artistic statement for ShyBoy and longtime collaborator Mark Nubar, neither of whom are strangers to blending genres from pop to goth, but here he leans fully into atmosphere without sacrificing vocal strength. Overall, ‘Walk Don’t Run’ is a track that rewards patience and reflection. Its slow build and moody styling make it feel like an effective extension of the film and less like a distraction.”
ShyBoy - HIS ROYAL SHYNESS (king size edition)
“Darkroom powers activate… watch this gritty masterpiece.”
“‘Backroom’ is timelessly fun, with vocals that are slick, rich, and addictive.”
“Seductive and alluring... ShyBoy’s vocal range is phenomenal.”
ShyBoy’s new album His Royal Shyness (King Size Edition) dives deep into themes of intimacy, desire, and emotional tension through a cinematic pop lens. Out now via Stockholm-based Snafu Records, the expanded LP features extended versions of every track from His Royal Shyness, along with several new songs and remixes. The fierce and otherworldly “Dildo Machine (After Hours Remix),” featuring RuPaul’s Drag Race icon Alaska Thunderf**k, is a dark, late-night club burner built for the dance floor. “Green Lights and Red Flags (Tetramorph Remix)” shimmers with synthwave textures, sweeping strings, and irresistible after-hours energy. “Brand New Maybe” offers a slow-burning confessional wrapped in lush electric piano and crisp 808s—minimalist in structure but emotionally rich. Closing the collection is a stripped-down cover of Lana Del Rey’s “Norman f**king Rockwell,” a raw, soul-baring interpretation that amplifies the haunting beauty of the original.
