Rising soul starlet Babé Sila returns with a sublime new single that further affirms her status as one of soul’s most promising newcomers.
‘i would, i would, i would’ is an understated gem. The production’s stripped-back style of sound gives way to Sila’s gorgeous vocals alongside elements of spoken word. The song was inspired by themes of losing oneself when they fall in love, as Sila explains:
“’i would i would i would’ is about the kind of love that can turn into self erasure. There’s that intimate, almost erotic pull of giving yourself over to someone you love completely: physically, emotionally, instinctively. Then there’s the sadness in the act of folding your own edges until there’s nowhere left to stand. Beneath the intimacy of it all there’s the old female script: bend, accommodate, become for the man you love. The song stays inside the beauty and sadness of this surrender.”
