It is in Russia that we leave to discover Silklake, a songwriter based in Moscow. He was notably one of the leaders of the Hospital band. Much more indie-rock oriented. "On Your Side" is her very first single in her new solo project, under the name Silklake. 

Hard to believe when you listen to this little wonder. Because it is very well produced and it sounds very professional. So for a first, it's excellent! The intro immediately puts us in the mood: we're going to have a good time. It's not aggressive, on the contrary. 

It's nice. Come on, let's be tempted! When the voice arrives, after a little over 30 seconds, we take a little slap. We have the impression of having returned to the very beginning of the 90s, when we still knew how to make simple but captivating melodies. 

To write "On Your Side", the artist told us that he was inspired by "An American Prayer", a song by The Doors. We better understand the somewhat retro side, but with the necessary modern touch. A real delight, which is confirmed with the arrival of the chorus: it is refreshing and heady. An ideal piece for a road trip. 

This is also why it appears in our section "Need To Escape". The song is about the fact that we would all like to remain children, and that we have to keep dreams, no matter our age. Despite a fairly long duration, 4min33 to be precise, we did not see the time pass. We immediately pressed the "replay" button.
