Shelley also doubled-down on the album promo by taking The Shelley Show to NPR for a soulful and intimate Tiny Desk (Home) Concert performance on Monday. Dripping in satin and silk fabrics, Shelley delivered a smooth 15-minute set featuring his recent singles and an exclusive premiere of the track “Rich And Famous” from the upcoming album.
In the process of announcing the release date of his album earlier this month, Shelley revealed the self-titled project would serve as a memorial to honor his late mother, who passed away in 2019.
“As some of you may know my mom passed away last year,” Shelley wrote in an Instagram post caption. “Before she passed I played her my upcoming album and I begged her to promise she wouldn’t play it for anyone else. She held her promise and took the music with her beyond this life. Her birthday is April 29th, so I’m pushing my album Shelley FKA DRAM’s release date to April 29th as not only my gift back to her, but my promise to play it for the world.”
