CASTLE PINES, CO – Multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Scott Argiro, known professionally as ARGYRO, will release his new single and official music video, “Cool Shades,” on Friday, May 22nd. The breezy, infectious track is the latest offering from his acclaimed album Glitterati, continuing a creative streak that has positioned ARGYRO as one of indie pop-rock’s most distinctive and versatile voices.
Built around shimmering melodies, beachside imagery, and an effortlessly cool groove, “Cool Shades” captures the escapist magic of sun, sand, romance, and freedom. Blending polished pop hooks with relaxed coastal rock textures, the song radiates a carefree spirit while still carrying the emotional sincerity that has become a hallmark of ARGYRO’s songwriting.
“All of my songs begin with a feeling or a visual,” said Argiro. “With ‘Cool Shades,’ I wanted listeners to disappear into a perfect summer moment — somewhere peaceful, beautiful, and untouchable for a few minutes. It’s about escape, connection, and letting yourself drift.”
Written and composed entirely by Scott Argiro, “Cool Shades” showcases the artist’s remarkable one-man-band approach. Under the ARGYRO banner, Argiro performs lead and backing vocals, keyboards, bass guitar, ukulele, drums, auxiliary percussion, and programming. The track also features veteran guitarist Damon Wood, whose résumé includes performing with soul legend James Brown.
Recorded in Castle Pines, Colorado, Glitterati was mixed, mastered, and co-produced by Jesse O’Brien in Denver, helping shape the project’s sleek, radio-ready sound while preserving its personal, independent spirit.
ARGYRO has continued building momentum throughout 2026 following the release of his single and video “The Phenomenon,” which followed the UK iTunes chart successes of “Lifeline” and the album’s title track. His recent releases have earned growing international attention for their blend of cinematic visuals, polished songwriting, and genre-bending pop-rock production. Beyond music, Argiro has also gained recognition for his work in film, including an appearance in the Amazon Prime feature Christmas Cards, further showcasing his versatility as both a musician and entertainer.
With “Cool Shades,” ARGYRO leans fully into feel-good escapism without sacrificing authenticity. The result is a shimmering summer anthem designed for beach drives, rooftop nights, and anyone searching for a little sunlight in uncertain times.
