Pop R&B singer-songwriter Celine Wanyi unveils her latest single, ‘shadow of you’.
Known for her four-octave vocal range, sensual tone, and genre-defying sound, Celine delivers an introspective and sonically rich track that highlights her growth as a vocalist, songwriter, and producer. The release follows her rebrand from WANYI and signifies a fresh chapter, brimming with vulnerability, empowerment, and a sound uniquely hers.
From its opening moments, “shadow of you” immerses listeners in a dreamy soundscape, weaving atmospheric synths with emotionally raw lyricism. Collaborating with renowned international producer Jacob Ray (Joji, NIKI, Keshi), Celine’s lush harmonies and moody melodies shine as she explores themes of loss, self-discovery, and emotional recovery. Her one-of-a-kind tone glides effortlessly through the track, delivering a poignant blend of alternative R&B and sensual vocal layers that leave an indelible mark.
Celine describes the inspiration behind the song:
“I wrote this song aiming to capture the feeling of spiraling and being lost, as well as the repetitive yet non-linear process of moving on from a past relationship. ‘shadow of you’ is about knowing a relationship is over but being unable to get the person’s essence and voice out of your head. Self-discovery has also been a significant recurring theme in my life these past few years – learning who I am on my own, understanding what I think and feel without the “shadow” of other people’s opinions and judgments, and recognising which beliefs belong to me and which belong to others.”
