This DMV area native has captured the hearts of many with her unique mix of electronic 80s synth pop and hip hop. Her debut album, "The Red Cup Demo," released in 2021, paved the way for her popularity. But it was her hit single "Crush," featuring Bizarre from Eminem's rap group D12, that made her a sensation throughout the United States. Now, Scilence has just released a new project titled "Scilence Unplugged (The Live LP)," and it's a game-changer.
Scilence's live LP is a collection of all of Scilence's fan favorites but in a live setting. The album's instrumentation is unparalleled, boasting a wide range of sounds, including those from a grand piano, Rhodes, string quartet, jazz horns, Latin percussion, and more. The autotune used on this LP is particularly exceptional and adds an electrifying quality to the overall sound.
Scilence displays remarkable vocal mastery over her autotune, exemplified perfectly in her melodious track "I Like Trips With U." Her ability to transition into her more mischievous head voice is reminiscent of a villain, similar to the Joker, which is incredibly captivating for the audience.
