Press Play: Shaw Cain – DELIVERY


Pop artist Shaw Cain has just unleashed “DELIVERY,” her latest track and the first to follow up her inaugural EP, “Black Popstar.” With the release of “DELIVERY,” Shaw Cain once again steps into the limelight, and the single is now streaming across all platforms. This track signifies a bold step in Shaw Cain’s artistic journey, presenting a sultrier and more intense dimension of her eclectic musical style. “DELIVERY” pulsates with a rhythm aimed at electrifying the nightlife scene. It is a harmonious blend of Detroit’s techno vibes with throwback elements of early 2000s pop. Shaw Cain’s vocals pierce through the track, evoking the spirit of classic 90s house music.

Post “Black Popstar,” Shaw Cain ventured from her Detroit roots to Berlin’s vibrant scene, where she embraced the roles of DJ, performer, and visionary artist. Despite facing obstacles, Shaw Cain’s unyielding spirit is palpable in “DELIVERY.” She shares, “…this has been one of the most intense periods of my life filled with so many highs and lows. ‘DELIVERY’ tells the story of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and not giving up, even when you feel like it most.”

Shaw Cain’s narrative is not just her own but serves as a beacon of motivation as she blazes her trail. “DELIVERY” bursts onto the scene with an exhilarating tune that prompts anticipation for the future creations from Shaw Cain.

Known alternatively as Black Popstar, Shaw Cain is crafting a unique path in music. She merges her Detroit heritage with the sensibilities of 2000s pop, hip-hop, and techno, all overlaid with her soul-stirring vocal artistry. The resulting sound is at once fresh and audacious, capturing the spirit of the club scene while exuding finesse for aficionados of pop and dance tunes.

Since her emergence as “Black Popstar,” Shaw Cain has undergone a personal and professional transformation. From her extensive touring across the U.S. to sharing the stage with Grammy laureate Big Freedia on the “Big Diva Energy” tour, she ultimately settled in Berlin. Intrigued by the cultural synergy between the two cities, she chose to cultivate her pop career in the German metropolis.

In anticipation of a series of upcoming releases, Shaw Cain dedicated her efforts to performing, DJing, and creative collaboration. Her aspiration remains steadfast—to redefine and reclaim space within pop culture for queer and trans people of colour, who have traditionally been marginalized in the industry.
