Shygirl Announces New Album 'Swallow!' With Lead Single 'Lucky (hymn)'
British singer Shygirl has announced her second album, Swallow!, releasing lead single "Lucky (hymn)" alongside the news. According to Stereogum's report on September 10, 2026, the album marks her first full-length follow-up to her 2022 debut, Nymph.
What was announced
Ahead of the Swallow! announcement, Shygirl had already signaled a new creative phase with the single "Alyse," which is being read as the opening statement of this era. "Lucky (hymn)" now arrives as the album's lead single.
Her debut, Nymph, was shortlisted for the 2023 Mercury Prize — the record widely credited with pushing her from the underground electronic scene into wider mainstream attention.

Three years since 'Nymph'

On screen, she appeared in Charli XCX's The Moment and in Madonna's Confessions II – The Film.
