Arielle Free & Might Delete Later Turn Real Voicemails Into House Anthem “Shy” on Defected

Arielle Free teams with Might Delete Later on “Shy,” inspired by a real voicemail about insecurity.

UK tastemaker Arielle Free teams up with genre-bending producer Might Delete Later for “Shy,” a heartfelt house track out March 21 via Defected Records. Inspired by an anonymous voicemail, the track captures vulnerability, self-reflection, and empowerment—all set to an uplifting beat.

Known for her distinct DJ style and role as a BBC broadcaster, Arielle brings her trademark energy to the production. It’s a sonic evolution from her 2023 hit “Feels So Good,” and she’s taken her sound global with sets at Defected’s Croatia and Malta festivals and the iconic Ushuaïa Ibiza.

Might Delete Later’s creative process involves an open phone line where anyone can call in and leave a story. “Shy” is built around one such confession: a personal reflection on feeling insecure in new connections.

As part of the release campaign, Arielle and Might Delete Later will be out in London asking strangers to share their own stories of self-acceptance—blurring the lines between music, art, and social connection.

With live instrumentation, thoughtful lyrics, and dancefloor appeal, “Shy” is both a bop and a statement.
