Today in artist spotlight we have Silicon Highway from Your Friend Esteves. A solid synthwave track with vocals.
The track is from his EP The girl from Titan. It is about a girl who is born and raised on Titan and dreams for a better life somewhere else. The EP is planned to be released on 16th April 2021.
The song is uplifting and generally very well arranged. We get nice reverb instruments and a very smooth vocal to top it off. The backing track is really is what it should be: just backing up. The melody is minimalist, does not distract from the main vocals which is strong and cuts through the whole track.
Your Friend Esteves tweeted that he just got the news, “Silicon highway” is nominated for a Synthwave Grammy - The Synthrammy’s 2021! I’ll leave it up to your interpretation (and research) what it is.
The track itself is available at various music sites and is very much recommended. As always, given it a listen and consider to support your fellow artists!
