Charlotte Day Wilson can make her words hit like a ton of feathers, soft in their presentation yet undeniable in their cumulative impact. “I went to a funeral today just so I could feel something,” the Toronto artist sang on “Funeral,” a morbid highlight from her 2018 EP Stone Woman. Across that breakout project and its follow-up, her 2021 debut album Alpha, Day Wilson toiled over break-ups and the accompanying anxiety, self-doubt, and pain.

Charlotte Day Wilson has shared a new single titled "Forever." The track is a collaboration with Swedish R&B singer Snoh Aalegra and finds the pair trading verses over stripped-back piano and drums. Together they talk about romantic hesitation, singing "I'm livin' lost in love 'cause I changе my mind too much." "Forever" is described in press materials as being "tethered loosely to a warped interpolation of The Foundations’ 'Baby, Now That I Found You.'" Check it out below.

Lil Silva is a London producer who emerged in 2010 with Night Slubs and the era of "deconstructed club." Since then his work has developed far beyond any niche: he's produced for Adele on her album 25 and shared a number of EPs and singles. 2022 has been a banner year for Silva with tracks like the Sampha-featuring "Backwards" and "Another Sketch," and today he shares “What If?” featuring Montreal dancehall rapper Skiifall and “Leave Now” with Charlotte Day Wilson.
