Lil Silva and Banks possess voices that couldn’t be more different. Silva’s is all sexy deep croon, while Banks’s is light and airy. But something happens when these two get together. Their chemistry on collaborative tracks has brought out the best in each—and helped elevate both to a new level of pop success. Silva is a 24-year-old production prodigy from the U.K. who started recording a CD of his own music at the ripe age of nine. He and Banks share an affinity for spot-on, slinky, electronic R&B, and it’s clearly guiding the sound of Banks’s highly anticipated debut album, due out in September. Here, on a song from his own upcoming EP, the two trade words over a synth-heavy, stop-and-start beat that couldn’t sound more naturally bubbly. Silva’s EP Mabel will be out through True Panther and Good Years on August 5.
