Review: "Oblivion" - Silke

A bond you share with someone can be something so vibrant and significant. It’s a sort of connection that’s nearly inimitable. However, there comes a time when the connection you’ve had with this person can practically fade away. Whether this person was meant to serve as a short lesson in your life or not, the waning love that was once burgeoning with vitality and vehement passion now seems almost paltry and so far away. Out of reach, almost, as if all we are capable of doing is watching it drift off, being powerless to stop the innate course of a disconsolate conclusion that it’s inevitably headed toward. It’s a painful dose of reality that many of us can relate to, a situation where many have found themselves, akin to a continuous spiral of anguish and misery as we observe what was once so valued in our aching hearts, extirpate into oblivion. “Oblivion”, by Silke, is a song that depicts a similar heartbreaking debacle. A song that tells a forlorn story about the painful event of a special connection that was once so emphatic only for it to fade into nothing— where that ostentatious bond only seems to, unfortunately, fall off, away into something inaccessible and impossible to salvage.



The song opens powerfully, setting the stage for such a bold and meaningful song– It’s a blend of a lush and electronic sound that only seems to further grasp the attention of the listeners with its incredible and unforgettable sound. Silke’s distinctive voice only seems to add another level of intimacy and emotion as her blithe voice essentially caresses the hearts of her listeners in such a captivating and memorable way. Singing about a topic that strikes remorseful emotion that has us reflect on former relationships where this predicament has perhaps taken action, leaving us with a hole in our heart that was left neglected and devoid of any reassurance. The lyrics to the song further highlight the fleeting nature of love, a haunting reality that many unfortunately experience. It’s a certain kind of emotion that courses through you when you realize the connection you once had with someone is no longer what it once was. Silke was able to put that very emotion into such emotive lyrics with a sound that’s nearly indelible for the listeners. 


Silke is a Norwegian singer and songwriter and is a producer who mostly resonates with sounds like electronic and pop. Silke, or Silije, as her real name, began her music career and debuted in the year 2021. Being that Silke is also a producer, she was able to work on music with a plethora of artists with songs that had become viral hits in the Norwegian competition titled “Melodi Grand Prix”. In the winter of 2023, she released her debut album titled “Juleminner” and has since been on tour starting at the end of 2023 which will persist until the end of this year. As Silke continues her journey as an authentic musician and producer, I can’t help but anticipate the release of her future projects!
