The track is the latest showcase of the artist’s upcoming debut LP WE ARE BUT CHEMICALS
Scottish producer and artist Rebecca Shearing, better known as SHEARS is somebody who has garnered a deserved reputation for the nuanced and ambitious nature of her sound and style, often using vibrant electronic soundscapes to make tracks that feel packed full of life and entirely her own, cementing herself as a staple of the UK music scene.
The artist’s latest single ‘BONES’ is something of a change of pace, instead delving into poignant piano balladry as she looks to explore the nasty side effects of women’s birth control and the impact that it has on people who use it. The complete tonal shift of her sound puts a great deal of emphasis and importance on the narrative here, and really underlines the artist’s passionate attachment to the narrative and the need for something to change.
“BONES is about the side effects of hormonal birth control and what women have to put in their bodies from an early age” explains SHEARS. “I read the book Nasty Women and read so many bad encounters with the birth control pill that I related to. It’s about the lack of research into women’s health.”
