Weaving pieces of his heart from the past to now crafting songs with perfection Sombr has officially caught media in a chokehold. Another iconic statement is his choice of outfits at his concerts alongside his breathtaking lyrics that cause audiences’ eyes to roll back in absolute ecstasy. Here at Fashion Truths, we will dig into this piece by piece and word by word.

From writing songs in high school to making his mark in the music industry, Shane Boose has become a global hit. His songs, which basically drip with the inner pain and heartbreak only a teenage boy could write, combined with his stunts and humorous social media reputation, have drawn interest from new eyes all around. Finally making a statement in the music industry after years of hard work, full of raw talent and a one-of-a-kind personality, he has finally gone viral. Shane Boose had become a star not overnight and not without an inner fight.
With his top hit "Back to Friends" becoming a global success by surpassing 500 million streams on Spotify by July 25th, the song climbed to the top spot on Spotify's global daily chart around July 6th and then topped the weekly global chart until July 10th with over 36 million streams that week alone. It reached #31 on the Billboard Hot 100, #4 on the Hot Rock and Alternative Songs chart, and #7 on Rock and Alternative Airplay. The song rose to a peak position of #3 in Australia in its seventh week and was certified Platinum by ARIA, along with reaching #7 in the UK. It was a global domination that shone a light on this once small artist with humble beginnings.

Shane's passion shines through his lyrics, they are crafted with great precision and dedication mixed with emotional depth. A quote from the record press further gives us his perspective on this. “I want to help people with my music. I want people to use it as a way to cope with different things they are going through in life. Just like I have used it. I want people to feel something.” His words go to show that lyrics and goals matter, something which other artists has flaws in but his tunes truly come from the heart and therefore end up golden.
Ever since his early teen years in school, Shane Boose had a taste for producing songs. He faced some periods of bullying due to his musical composing interests, but his passion pushed through. “Ever since I started making music, I was like, ‘I want to find a way to do music full time’ … I would be in school … on my iPad, writing music,” from People.com. If his younger self could see what the future held, it's safe to say that Shane Boose would be proud and rightfully so.

Overall, Shane Boose has achieved his dreams. His recent popularity has led him to appear in magazines and articles such as 1883 Magazine, along with media interviews from all around.
Part of his statement during concerts is his curly locks, height, and outfits. His performance appearances, which we will overview, always have a unique flair to them in order to appeal to his own genre and style.

With a new hit on Spotify recently and a kickstart catchy blend of vocals and instruments. When listening to this song my first impression and thoughts were linked to the idea of a modern day Elvis Presley at the beginning and a conclusion with a theory of the sensual music video being a small subtle revenge or nudge. Shane Boose's music taking a new turn on modern mixed with vengeful intent or simply just a flirty music video with a market Savvy visual promotion technique in mind?
In comparison to his past music videos, this one progressively becomes more intimate and sensual. Addison Rae’s dancing is sharp, seductive, and perfectly executed her moves are both lustful and tempting. In the final moments, the two draw close as Addison holds Sombr’s necklace in her mouth, gazing up at him with an intimate, silent stare filled with depth and unspoken romance. Her performance is spot-on, but it’s how Sombr chose to use her in the video that raises media suspicion and questions.

Could the dance moves be mimicking or even mocking? Could the states of emotion be heavily inspired by the mystery girl who has remained out of the public eye, yet is partly responsible for the breathtaking lyrics this teenage heart has spilled out to the world? Countless theories and videos have surfaced, only to be dismissed as rumours and for now, they remain just that.
We don’t know the full story behind the relationship that helped launch Shane Boose’s career. Although he’s a fresh new celebrity, that doesn’t take away his right to privacy. Yet the media continues to push and demand answers without a second thought.

The situation of fame coming to someone this young is a rare occasion. What Sombr chooses to do with it will affect his future reputation both in and outside the industry. So, the question is: will he be mature enough to handle it? Based on the music video and the small cocky remarks that the audience is interpreting as hiccups, what can we expect from him in the future, especially during his youth?

The chipped tooth incident
“I didn’t even notice until I got off stage.” is what he said while explaining to the media with a classic smile keeping it light hearted. Sombr chipped his tooth a total of two times, the incidents being only one concert apart so therefore a back to back occurrence. What further makes this funny to the media is that it was the exact same tooth. One incident from a jump as he hit the tooth on the mic and another similar event for round two.
Overall Shane Boose is a young celebrity that already is surrounded by media mystery and hype for multiple reasons. Whether it be his lyrical masterpiece, his humorous media stunts, fashion statements or lore and mystery of his past we can safely say we can expect more from him in the future. What Shane Boose does with his fame is a story that will unfold before fans eyes and media worldwide.
