Today’s catch comes from Tyrone Jermaine “TJ” Carter…aka Lil Silva. The English producer, singer, songwriter and DJ has caught my attention recently and has now released his first solo album called Yesterday Is Heavy, which has been in the works for 10 years. The album is absolutely brilliant with tracks that range from electronic, jazz, pop, R&B, funk, and dance music that will keep you in good vibe the whole way through. The album has several featured artist known to Chillville like Charlotte Day Wilson, Sampha, Little Dragon, and several others. Today’s amazing catch is called “To The Floor“, which features the electro-jazz group BADBADNOTGOOD. Not only is this song perfect to my ears, but the complete album is also up to par for greatness. From his press release…
“Over 10 years in the making, ‘Yesterday Is Heavy’ is a cumulative product of an already remarkable career filled with highlights. An album about stepping out: outside of a comfort zone, and, for Lil Silva, outside of himself. It’s a debut album of heft and heart, but most of all hope – and trusting the process. Buoyed on by the encouragement of long-time collaborators like Jamie Woon and Sampha early in his career (they both implored him to commit his own voice to record), and bolstered by incomparable session experience working with Mark Ronson, Adele and more, the Lil Silva story that started aged 10 in Bedford is beginning full circle. Created primarily in the town he grew up in (and continues to live now), the pervading solace of home courses through the project, while providing the thrilling moments of sleight of hand that Silva has always been capable of.”
You can listen to today’s catch “To The Floor (ft. BADBADNOTGOOD)” by Lil Silva in the YouTube player below. But I implore you to listen to the entire album. Good things!
