Multi-platinum artist, music producer, and actor Tyler Shaw releases his brand new single “Out of Sight.”
The track, written and produced by Tyler, Swedish singer/songwriter Dotter, and Dino Medanhodzic (who is part of the songwriting collective The Six) is an epic pop anthem, sonically lush with a rich depth of production that opens a new chapter for the artist. Tyler is one of Canada’s most accomplished artists, and “Out of Sight” brings his songwriting and performance to the next level, with an accompanying larger-than-life video, set to premiere on YouTube on September 28 at 12 PM ET, and directed by Aaron A., with whom Tyler has previously collaborated on “North Star” and “Wicked.”
Says Tyler, “I’ve been wanting to challenge myself artistically and create something with a huge sound to match the lyrics and the emotions I’m feeling as a performer. “Out of Sight” flowed from an incredible writing session and the result is something I’m so proud of and really captures my evolution – and also sets the tone for the rest of the project.”
“Out of Sight” is the first single from Tyler’s upcoming full-length project, set to release in 2024. Watch out for Tyler’s performance at the Canadian Country Music Awards on Saturday, September 16th (8 PM ET on CTV).
