Love Shy (song)

"Love Shy" is a song by Danish singer Kristine Blond, released as a single in 1998. It peaked at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart. Two years later, it reached the top forty in the UK again, landing at number 28 in November 2000,[1] due to the Club Asylum remix of the track becoming a UK garage club hit. The theme of the song discusses incelibacy and overcoming it.[2]

It was the first of two hit singles for Kristine Blond. She returned to the chart for the final time in 2002 with "You Make Me Go Oooh" which made number 35.

Mixmag included the Tuff Jam Vocal Mix of "Love Shy" in their list of "16 of the Best Uplifting Vocal Garage Tracks".[3]

"Love Shy" was re-worked by British group Platnum and released in 2008 with the title "Love Shy (Thinking About You)", reaching number 12 in the UK.

"Love Shy (Thinking About You)" (often shortened to Love Shy) is the second single by UK bassline group Platnum. It was released after the success of "What's It Gonna Be" with H "Two" O.

The original version of "Love Shy" had been given a bassline makeover by DJ/producer Shaun 'Banger' Scott at the end of 2007. The remix was well received in the bassline scene; this is possibly the reason that Platnum decided to produce their own version.
