Ro Malone – Shimmy Shimmy Bae (2025)
If you want pop-filled bright sunniness, happy fuzzies and a joyful twirling around pop song, you want Ro Malone. A rising star in the music scene, Irish artist Malone embraces our ears with her powerful, confident, and bold vocals in well-received melodies. While we were only introduced to her a month ago with ‘Hello Hello Sunshine’, she has already turned heads internationally for several years. Now on her way to take centre stage as a performing artist, her natural storytelling and engaging lyrics will sweep across audiences with energetic enthusiasm. In the meantime, we can enjoy her music online with her new single, ‘Shimmy Shimmy Bae’.
Following her well-received single ‘Hello Hello Sunshine’, ‘Shimmy Shimmy Bae’ embraces a contemporary pop tone, but gives it a spicier edge with slices of hip-hop and rap. An upbeat, toe-tapping, shimmering rush of bold beats, synths, and a dynamic keyboard, the new track bursts with joy. Yet, as much as there is innocence and youth in ‘Shimmy Shimmy Bae’, it bristles with slick sensuality – the chorus in particular.
Melodically, Ro Malone has crafted a single that oozes that “yeah, I can dig this” vibe, but there is much more to the song than just a fun tune. Adding weightiness to ‘Shimmy Shimmy Bae’, the lyrics speak of empowerment, optimism, resilience and strength. Malone explains:
“The song is about finding your people and learning how to help refill their cup and yours. It’s about it being okay not to be okay and knowing that there’s no reason why you can’t bounce back. A very successful Irish woman once told me, “don’t be somewhere and feel stifled and down on yourself”, and to be honest, that word “stifled” didn’t even exist in my vocabulary at the time; but once I looked it up it made so much sense to me and truly ignited a revolution in my soul. Slowly but surely, I’ve been removing all obstacles out of my way so that those I meet and support and the true me can Shimmy Shimmy Bae.”
