Today we celebrate the release of Stuart Joel Nuggett’s single ‘Shy’ with video.
‘Shy’ is the first taste from Stuart’s debut album ‘Ngaaya-Ma Jingila Baaya’ via CAAMA Music.
Stuart says “I wrote Shy looking back at old school days when I was younger and how it was meeting your first girlfriend…but it can be Shy about anything in life really”
CAAMA Music is feeling proud. “It’s really exciting to have the first single to come out for the year by Stuart Joel Nuggett, it’s a fun, beautifully made song that will get you up and dancing.” Laurie May, CAAMA Music
