Estelle Fly brings club-pop nostalgia and playful swagger to new single ‘Shut It Down’

Singaporean pop artist Estelle Fly returns with ‘Shut It Down’, a playful club-pop single about switching off the overthinking and making the dance floor your own. Inspired by the Rihanna and Kesha songs she used to get ready and go out to, the new release is an invitation to let loose, dance with friends and have fun even when life feels complicated.

‘Shut It Down’ is about the nights when friends persuade you to stop overthinking and go out. Instead of waiting for a text or checking your phone, it is an invitation to get dressed, feel good and spend the night dancing. As Estelle puts it: “Your problems will still be there tomorrow, but you deserve to enjoy yourself tonight.”

I wanted to make something that gives me that same excitement, and let myself have a bit more fun with my music.”
