“ShyBoy’s seductive sound and alluring tracks make him the one to watch. His vocal range is phenomenal.”
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.
“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’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.
Queer For Fear: The History Of Queer Horror (Original Score and Soundtrack) contains ShyBoy’s score and title songs from the Emmy-nominated docuseries. For the soundtrack release, ShyBoy recorded a duet with RuPaul's Drag Race superstar (and Queer For Fear commentator) Alaska Thunderfuck.
