Silverland's first release of 2021 "Small Town Boy"

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE

Small town Boy is the first release for Silverland in 2021. This is a killer remake of the classic by Bronski Beat.

Small town Boy has taken a while to complete. A stand out record from the 80’s, it’s one of those tracks that everyone just knows.

Being true to the original, whilst bringing it up to date, took some planning and creative musical design.

Although this version is in a higher key, and runs 11bpm slower than the original, Silverland has captured the energy and sentiment of this all time classic. It’s the same but, totally different!

Killer beats, deep bass and a twisted vocal hook, all lock together to create tension, builds and drops throughout a two and a half minute journey.

The video reflects the era. A Raleigh Chopper, loud wall paper and a “certain amount” of discontent.

When clubland reopens, Small Town Boy will be the record to drop at any party.

Enjoy the music, enjoy life.

Small Town Boy is available on all digital platforms via DeeVu Records.
