Ina Shai is a London-based singer-songwriter from Slovenia. Not too long ago, she released an appealing music video for her sensual new single, titled, “Touch.” The stylish video, dripping with finesse, was directed by Cat Couture/Amoroso Films with makeup and hair by Millie Hoffman. “Touch” follows the previously released singles, “Queen” and “What is.”
Ina Shai – “Touch” music video
‘Touch’ finds Ina Shai tapping into her sensuous side and embodying her femininity with a welcomed fierceness. The song details the to-and-fro of a toxic relationship and the dynamic dance of knowing the person you desire is emotionally unavailable and not able to help how you feel. “Touch” demonstrates the internal battle felt between what you want and what you know is right.
‘Touch’ possesses saturated drums, peppery percussion, and synth-laden instrumentation flavored with indie R&B and contemporary pop elements. Furthermore, “Touch” was penned with Dutch songwriter and producer, Martyn Ell, with the intention to pitch to Selena Gomez’s label, which at the time was looking for new songs for the singer. However, after an impromptu performance at one of her London gigs, Ina Shai received an incredible response and overwhelming feedback and decided to release the track herself.
Ina Shai – “Touch”
“I loved performing the song live and it really took me by surprise how much people loved it too. I’d never have written the song if I was writing for myself as this song is very different from the music I was releasing at the time. I really didn’t have any filters when writing it, so I think this song shows a very different side to me. A more playful, sexy, and sensual side that I never showed in my music before. That’s why it also took me so long to gather the courage to release it. Especially the music video which 100% represents the song and me. I allowed myself to dance and express myself through movement, something that feels really natural to me but somehow, I wasn’t ready to share it with the world up till now. Being a powerful woman who is confident in her body and in her femininity is nothing to be ashamed of but should rather be encouraged and celebrated.” – Ina Shai explained
