BABÉ SILA

London/NYC-based Hungarian R&B and soul singer-songwriter Babé Sila connects with Solray Rock on her new single “i would i would i would.” The track explores love that leads to self-erasure and emptiness. Built over a solemn pad arrangement with soft tones and mellow drum grooves, Babé Sila delivers an emotionally gripping performance that is peppered with sublime melodies and flourishes that rise in the chorus section.
The track walks between complete surrender of one’s will to another and the euphoria that comes with it. It also dives into the sadness that follows with lines like
“I would close my eyes to let you see
empty myself to fill up
break my rhythm to make you dance
blur myself to make you sharp”
Where the stereotype of women bending their will to suit their partners is perpetuated. Far from glorifying it, the singer holds up a mirror to show the world the dynamics of gender stereotypes and strictly socially constructed roles.
