Red Room
From February 14 – March 30, 2012, the band ran a Kickstarter campaign to fund their first full-length album.[16] They raised over $32,000 (of a $18,000 goal), and recorded various cover songs on their YouTube channel to thank financial backers of the project.
The money went to studio time with producer Brady Blade, and engineer Chris Bell as well as the addition of the horn section Grooveline Horns to some of their new songs.[17] The 14 track album was released by Vanguard Records and Welk Music Group on January 22, 2013.[18] Two weeks later, Red Room was named as a top music pick from the New York Daily News.[19]

Finding A Problem
On August 9, 2018, the band released the single "Finding A Problem," a personal song about the "recognition in yourself that maybe it's you not committing fully to something as opposed to everyone else."[31]
Telephone
“Telephone,” an ode to the Bee Gees seminal 1977 music video “How Deep Is Your Love” and co-written by Justin Timberlake, drips in nostalgia, from the band's embroidered satin jackets to their recreation of the Bee Gee's iconic back-to-back-to-back shot.[14] For “Telephone," The Shadowboxers (Matt Lipkins, Scott Tyler and Adam Hoffman) were inspired by the schoolyard game of the same name, where word travels from person to person, but is never quite the same as when it started.[14] The single was released on October 11, 2018.

Honeymoon
The Shadowboxers wrote "Honeymoon" in the winter of 2017 with their friend Adrianne “AG” Gonzalez, while breaking from session after session of writing upbeat pop songs. The song was released on December 6, 2019. The title, “Honeymoon” was something Matt brought in, and in trying to work out a song around the word itself, he and AG thought it'd be interesting to write a deceptively romantic sounding sad ballad. “Honeymoon” represents a lot of elements of The Shadowboxers identity that they haven't showcased in years.
Won't Ever Say Goodbye
"Won't Ever Say Goodbye" was released exclusively via Billboard on January 22, 2020, and the single released worldwide on January 23, 2020. "The song lived in our heads and in our DropBox for a long time, but we kept coming back to it. The task of finally going into the studio to record it felt pretty daunting. Demo-itis is a real thing. But what we came out with really felt more honest and more uniquely 'us,'" The Shadowboxers tells Billboard. "From a production standpoint, this song is really hard to classify. It somehow feels fast and slow at the same time. It exists in this sort of slinky in-between space which helps you feel the dichotomy of the intense resolve of the song combined with a kind of subconscious melancholy." The track features a groovy guitar cutting into razor-sharp pop vocals, as the group sings about not letting go of a significant other, divine echoing harmonies cooing in the background. It's a coincidental feeling for the group to be singing about, considering they're letting go of their sonic past to create this new chapter for themselves where they exhibit more creative control.[33]
Something To Hold
In September 2021, The Shadowboxers released a neo-soul single "Something To Hold".[2]
