Lil Silva has amassed a scroll of writing credits for the likes of Adele, Mark Ronson, BANKS, and serpentwithfeet, to name a few, all while holding his own style in the UK funky scene as a DJ and producer. As his career bifurcated, he slowly connected those two worlds through ideas first auditioned on his 2016 EP , a stark blend of UK bass, house and hip-hop beats. The production on his debut album, still employs the synths and rhythms that have been a staple of his work from the beginning and bridges it with his popstar songwriting. Released 12 years into his career, it sounds like a piece of music someone has spent their entire life up until that point trying to make.
