SHM has released 2 songs in 2021 and also confirmed the launch of a full-length album. With their subtle yet elegant marketing gestures on top of great music, The trio has been constantly in the limelight since the reunion in July 2021. They also did an astounding performance on the popular talk show “Tonight’s show with Jimmy Fallon” of both their new releases “It Gets Better” & “Lifetime” last month. With The Weeknd’s immense reputation in the music industry thanks to his immaculate work on his previous album, this collaboration is for sure something to watch out for.
Their switch of genres was received with mixed reactions among the fans. Some admired the SHM’s golden EDM era condemning the new sound however some felt that SHM has moved on and the new sound would be the next big thing in both the electronic & Hip-hop/RnB industry.
