NEW VIDEO: SILVASTONE - BORN AGAIN

The fourth single to be taken from his much anticipated upcoming fourth project,Evolution, Silvastone presents his new single “Born Again” displaying his signature multi-genre sound.

This time round the multi-talented artist/producer/songwriter fuses his sweetly layered melodic vocals over a soulfully self-produced Afrobeats instrumental that evidently illustrates touches of his foundational influences - R&B, HipHop, HighLife and Gospel.

The song’s lyrics sing about how finding true love makes us all feel reborn. As he explains, “The song and its title is a play on words with multiple meanings. It’s about a refresh. A rebirth. A renewal. Resetting and starting again. Whether that’s life or love. And it’s appropriate in this now post-lockdown times where many of us like myself are picking up where we left off or starting afresh. It’s a feel-good song and something I know we all need right now. And, as a man of God of course there’s nothing better than being ‘Born Again’. 

Its accompanying music video matches all these attributes and was directed by Eric Myers and filmed in central Croydon.

Watch, Share and Enjoy “Everyday” and also listen to it on our AFROBEATS CITY 2022 Spotify playlist.
