Introducing new audiences to her debut single
Rising artist Shalishah Kay is celebrating a major milestone this week, with her latest single “Golden Hour” played nationally on BBC Introducing, Radio 1, on Saturday 8 August.
The track marks a significant step for the London based artist, whose sound blends feel good melodies with warm, atmospheric production. “Golden Hour” captures the fleeting magic of long summer evenings, and its national radio debut brought that energy to listeners across the country.
Speaking on the news, Shalishah said:
“Having ‘Golden Hour’ played nationally on BBC Introducing, Radio 1 is such a special moment for me. I’m so excited to share the track with the nation and bring a little of that feel good, end of summer energy to everyone listening.”
Shalishah shared the moment across her socials, with an announcement on her Instagram stories ahead of the broadcast followed by a screen recording of the show once it aired.
The momentum does not stop with radio. “Golden Hour” has also landed on five Spotify playlists, including Good Vibes Only, Driving Music, Speeding and Beach Party Hits, racking up tens of thousands of combined saves. For fans of Afro House, Shalishah’s own curated playlist featuring the track is also now live on Spotify.
It is a well earned moment in the spotlight for an artist on the rise, and one that sets the stage nicely for what is next. Shalishah is already looking ahead to her next single, aiming for a late September release.
