Shygirl has unveiled an Abbey Road performance of her October single "Cleo", which sees her backed by an 18-piece string ensemble.
"Cleo" was released in October, and despite opening with orchestral arrangements, the original was a clubby, Jakwob and Sega Bodega-produced anthem.
Shygirl has since dropped an Abbey Road performance of the track, recorded as part of its 90th anniversary programme, and it sees her backed by an 18-piece string ensemble, keeping the dramatic feel of the original but without the electronic elements.
She's yet to follow up last November's ALIAS EP.
Shygirl's performance of "Cleo" at Abbey Road is on YouTube now.
