The second Shy Nobleman album was released in Israel in 2006. It was a big hit, becoming the most successful indie album of the time.
Different from the debut album, it has much more of a rocknroll/power pop sound and groove.
The main theme of the texts is based around the breakup, singer Shy, had with his girlfriend at the time.
The opening song,” Girlfriend”, was a Hugh radio hit in the holy-land. Spending six months on the charts.
It was followed by “Baby in the rain”, a McCartney (wings era)-like rocker which was another top 10 hit on the national radio.
These two together with “2 could be better than 1”,”Animals”,“One of a kind” and “Come join the team” are power pop classics.
Also on the album are 2 gorgeous ballads: “Wonderful” which is a stand out track (a lush duet with guitarist, Geva Alon), and the mellow- psych “Picture on the wall”.
The 60’s British psych sound of “How to be shy” is represented by the title track which transform from a country song to a lush ballad with some heavy strings and “Copenhagen” which sounds more like a Scott Walker tune, with a brass section and a deep baritone vocal.
The CD contains 3 music videos and a picture gallery.

I first saw Shy in Berlin, where he played live in October.
The show was amazing. Mind-Blowing. After the concert i bought How to be shy which i liked very much, altogh it has mellower sound compering to the live show.
So i went on-line and got "Beautiful Life". And this is the real deal for me.
Kicking ass power pop songs.
Girlfriend is brilliant. My favourite.
Also brilliant: one of a kind, animals, baby in the rain.
