23 year old London-based artist silla, channels his emotion through his powerful and compelling songs; delving into his personal struggles with mental health, relationships and loss.
silla is an artist that has been on my horizon for a little while now, and as a remarkably talented song-writer, I believe he is soon to become a breakthrough leader in the Dark R&B realm, with a growing organic fanbase of over 11k monthly Spotify listeners (a growth of +8k monthly followers in just 3 months).
The vibe of silla's music has remained authentic from his first release 'Selfish' in 2021, to his latest release 'Afterthoughts' out today (August 25th). silla’s music embodies a dramatic nature, reflected with thoughtful and meaningful lyrics. His music naturally evokes a meaningful presence, through depth of sound and lyrics; creating a smooth, ambient vibe. Inspired by the likes of The Weeknd and Kanye West, but very much carving his own lane as a multi-genre artist, silla's upcoming third EP is a testament to his evolution as an artist.
silla's 'Afterthoughts' is a haunting masterpiece within the Dark R&B (Alt-R&B) genre. With poignant lyrics like
'Why won't it hurt like it used to? The only thing I held onto, But now you're just an afterthought,'
the song delves into the complex emotions of post-breakup despair. It skillfully captures the paradoxical desire to cling to the pain of lost love as a final connection to someone who has departed. Through its melancholic melodies and evocative storytelling, 'Afterthoughts' invites listeners to explore the bittersweet realm of heartache and the enigmatic allure of holding onto the remnants of a shattered relationship.
