If you love Bridgerton, or are even just a regular fan, you will adore the new single "Heaven Can Wait" by pop artist and fashion inspiration Kayla Silverman. Both the show and the lyrics of this contemporary, violin-heavy banger are captivating and cinematic, in which Silverman compares her unrequited love to the holiest degree. While her love is already in a relationship with someone else, and is only interested in hooking up, she can't help but still be in love anyway, anticipating when they will become single so she can finally be with them. She knows that once this happens, the love will be one-sided and will only come from her, calling this "masochistic" of herself, and she will feel just the same as she did before, but to her dismay, she can't help her attraction.
Strings and the plucking of an acoustic guitar are stitched together over a beat reminiscent of pop hits that emerged from the 2000s. Paired together are a violin and trumpet, which lead out "Heaven Can Wait", and the instruments perfectly match each other's tone as the final hook fades. Silverman has an amazing singing voice, using her wide vocal range in the song. As she becomes more upset with love in the lyrics, her singing intensifies, reaching its highest point in the bridge, and then goes back down in the outro. The fact that she is able to convey strong emotion while singing is just even more proof she is an incredible vocalist. This song greatly represents this, as well as her ingenious song-writing skills.
Kayla Silverman is an up-and-coming musician based in Boston, Massachusetts, known for her creative and original musical sound. Jazz and alternative influences can be recognized throughout her discography. She has toured in the past and is now in the process of making an album, titled From Your Lips to Gods Ears. Silverman flawlessly brings her aesthetically pleasing artwork for the music she has been releasing since 2020, including her 2021 debut EP Golden Frequencies, to life with her music videos, creating a feeling of enchantment. Other songs from her include "Bitter Chocolate", "Starting Over", and "Of Me". Silverman is a visionary, lyrically and sonically.
