SHAD shares final single “Slanted” from forthcoming album Start Anew

Shad is set to release Start Anew this Friday, October 31 via Secret City Records — his seventh studio album and the conclusion of a trilogy of socially conscious works that began with 2018’s A Short Story About a War and continued with 2021’s TAO. This week, he shares the album’s final single, “Slanted,” a track exploring “the proverbial ‘slippery slope’ as it plays out specifically in terms of economic and political power.”

This year also marks 20 years of Shad in music, a milestone celebrating two decades of artistic growth, impact, and innovation. Known for his sharp wit, thought-provoking lyricism, and versatile sound, Shad continues to share an inspired message with Start Anew: an album about embracing change, facing loss, and moving into uncertainty with hope.
