New Single “When the Love is New” Released by Shakey Graves

Coming off a weekend of exhilarating back-to-back concerts in Austin, Shakey Graves has just unveiled his latest single “When the Love is New,” which offers listeners an intimate glimpse into the musician’s evolving musical style. Accompanying the track is a self-directed video, with Alejandro Rose-Garcia, also known as Shakey Graves, taking on the roles of director, producer, and editor.

The song’s release conveniently coincides with Shakey Graves Day, a special occasion established by Austin’s mayor on February 9, 2012. During the annual celebration, the artist paid tribute to his loyal fanbase by offering limited-edition merchandise and reintroducing his charitable “pay-what-you-want” Bandcamp donations, with proceeds supporting the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM).

With “When the Love is New,” the DIY singer-songwriter delves into themes of fleeting romance and emotional change. Renowned for merging folk, blues, and roots rock into emotive, authentic performances, Shakey Graves’ latest piece is no exception. Rose-Garcia’s production choices sculpt an immersive landscape that amplifies the song’s reflection on love’s transient essence and the poignant space between forming connections and experiencing loss.

The single reinforces Shakey Graves’ position as one of America’s most innovative independent musicians, unafraid to explore new artistic realms while preserving the genuineness that has won him a dedicated fanbase.

Featuring authenticity and creativity in his music, Shakey Graves ensures both elements thrive in his latest release, solidifying his revered status among music enthusiasts nationwide.
