Adventurous dream-pop visionary Polartropica has joined forces with Americana artist Gilbert Louie Ray for their seductive new single, “Shiny Things.” The song is accompanied by a playfully charming video directed by Tristan Pelletier, perfectly capturing the track’s deeply human spirit.

With “Shiny Things,” Polartropica and  Gilbert Louie Ray craft a heartfelt folk-pop gem that at its emotional core, reflects on the ache of love’s end, and the quiet strength it takes to let go. As Polartropica shares, the song is about “learning and growing from the hard lessons, finding acceptance, and coming back home to yourself with love and forgiveness.” Blending Polartropica’s signature celestial synths and ethereal vocals with Ray’s rootsy tone, the duo shine with organic chemistry and creative curiosity. The result is a track that feels both grounded and otherworldly.

From its bright acoustic melodies to its buoyant harmonies, “Shiny Things” radiates optimism while encouraging listeners to embrace inner growth and overcome difficult situations. It’s a testament to both artists’ unique ability to blend sonic worlds, crafting something playful, profound, and irresistibly feel-good.
