The fifth single from emerging pop sensation Arden, ‘Silence’ sees the London based multi-faceted artist embark on an emotionally resonant ballad. Driven by powerful synths, the song starts off from a soft and supple place before building the tempo and hitting a powerful crescendo that has you moving your body and grooving along to it. The refreshing stylistic arrangement is avowedly unique, a clear combination of a multitude of genres that range from hip-hop to mainstream pop to electronic all in one great melting pot.
‘Silence’ is a marquee piece for analysing the talent of its producer more than anything else. Arden’s part of a new generation of artists that are able to manage almost end to end the entire creation, ideation, and performance of tracks that are complex and melodically meticulous. It’s a landmark piece that should see this artist hit a new level.
