Rising star Silyla is making waves with her latest single, ‘Me and My Crew,’ a track that blends luscious, sugary vocals with an infectious, trap-infused pop sound. Her vocals on this track glides effortlessly over the beat, delivering a sound that feels both contemporary and refreshing.
Silyla’s style diverges from the usual U.K. R&B scene, which often leans towards neo-soul, jazz, or electronic influences. Instead, she crafts a sound that echoes the polished production and genre-blurring appeal more commonly heard from U.S. artists. She’s truly a standout artist with an ability to infuse a playful yet powerful energy into the track, with a saccharine hook full of conviction.
Born in Canada but raised in London, Silyla has been carving out a niche for herself as a fiercely independent and innovative artist. Her music offers a refreshing take on pop and underground sounds, ensuring her instant and long-lasting appeal among a diverse audience.
‘Me and My Crew’ is an anthem dedicated to the unshakable bonds of friendship. Moving beyond the well-trodden themes of romance, the song emphasizes manifestation, personal dreams, and unwavering loyalty. With crisp, danceable beats, smooth synth-driven production, and a vocal delivery that ranges from sultry to sweet, the track effortlessly bridges multiple genres.
The song’s introduction sets the tone with Silyla’s laid-back vocals emerging through a dreamy haze of filters. The beat fuses elements of U.K. garage, Jersey club rhythms, and mainstream pop, evolving throughout the track with organic instrumentation and vocal layers. Whether played in a club, at a house party, or through headphones, ‘Me and My Crew’ maintains its immersive and genre-defying charm.
Silyla’s lyricism shines as she sings, “Everything I need’s right here in front me,” celebrating the presence of true friends and the importance of cherishing real connections. The track was recorded in her home studio and co-produced alongside longtime collaborator Rndmbeats. Initially teased as a home-made video on TikTok, the song was carefully nurtured into its final high-quality, radio-ready form.
Since 2020, Silyla has been tirelessly honing her craft, working both independently and in collaboration with other artists. Her dedication has earned her widespread acclaim, with strong support from platforms such as BBC Radio 1Xtra, iHeartRadio, BBC Introducing (Track of the Week), and BBC Asian Network. Apple Music and Rolling Stone India have also championed her work, recognizing her undeniable talent and rising influence in the music industry.
In Silyla’s own words, ‘Me and My Crew’ is “a perfect soft baddie friendship anthem, with a fresh Jersey twist.” With her innovative approach and fearless creativity, Silyla is undoubtedly an artist to watch as she continues to push boundaries and redefine the sound of modern R&B and hyperpop.
