Kevin Silvester and JVCQUI “Be The One” REVIEW
Directly from Melbourne, Kevin Silvester is a boundless electronic act, combining his narrative-driven and passionate lyricism with pop vocals and electronic production. The 20- year-old singer/songwriter, producer, and DJ draws comparisons to artists like Grey and Illenium. Being a classically trained pianist and cellist, he began writing music at the young age of 11 and taught himself music production at the age of 13.
Teams up with the singer-songwriter JVCQUI, an emerging artist in the Australian music scene. Being trained in contemporary vocals and musical theatre since very young, she began writing music 2 years later before beginning tertiary studies helping her develop her musicianship.
"Be The One" is an anthemic dance-pop track from the duo. This track is an emotional rollercoaster, commenting on infidelity while integrating multiple genres to express the core emotions of hatred and longing. This song, is a single from Kevin’s upcoming debut album, which has already reached over 4 million cumulative streams ahead of its release from previous singles.
This song integrates multiple genres to express the core emotions of hatred and longing. Silvester enchants and lures you into a forest of melodies, only to cast you into an electric confrontation of vocals matched with a punchy bass line and a triplet-swing drum beat.
The ethereal vocal performance by JVCQUI displays her longing and highlights the back and forth between Silvester and herself, painting the picture of a couple fighting, leaving listeners with empathy for JVCQUI as she pleads for validation.
The official music video is a majestic representation, in images of the message disclosed in the song!
