Thai-Italian singer/songwriter/influencer/actress SILVY debuts with a massive body positivity anthem “XL” released under Warner Music Asia across all digital platforms worldwide.
“XL” is also the first of many anthems that will be released later this year.
SILVY is no stranger to the industry. She has contributed her distinctive R&B vocals to numerous official soundtracks such as Miss Saigon (Thailand Original Cast), Four Reigns: The Musical. She has also appeared on various hit TV shows such as The Voice and The Masked Singer in Thailand and made a strong impression with her vocals prowess and larger-than-life personality.
As a role model for the modern woman, SILVY is passionate about female empowerment, self-love & confidence and body positivity. This has led her to amass a highly engaged and loyal following on her social media, which have accumulated approximately total of a half a million followers across various platforms.
Although SILVY ’s career has traversed a vast and diverse terrain, that isn’t to say there haven’t been a few bumps along the road. “XL” candidly tells of SILVY’s early experiences with record labels, who attempted to push her into conforming to an image that simply wasn’t her own. With the lyrics - “People used to put me in a box / They made me something that I’m not” - SILVY is recounting her reluctance to physically transform and feminize herself in pursuit of her creative ambitions.
Yet the track doesn’t allow itself to sink into melancholic introspection. Instead, it’s an unashamedly fun and celebratory party-anthem. And SILVY has plenty to celebrate, having now come to an understanding of the kind of artist, moreover, the kind of woman, that she is and wants to be.
Says SILVY on the experience of creating “XL” that is co-written and produced by Karma X’s Richard Craker (Jolin Tsai, Liam Gallagher, LYRA, DNCE etc.) alongside other co-writers Stephen Jones and singer-songwriter Valentina Ploy, “I wanted to make a track about my story so far and include a main theme of my life (body positivity). I had the time of my life working on this song. I love performing and have always dreamt that my music would be heard worldwide.”
An official music video to “XL” is also released on the same day, and it features SILVY and various women-in-arms who have experienced similar body positive experiences. The music video sets up the perfect stage where they share their messages and confidence in the most celebratory manner.
