Jessye DeSilva – Hover

​The latest EP release from Jessye DeSilva, Hover is a triumphant exploration of identity and what it means to simply be human.

​Blending whimsical indie folk tunes with strikingly vulnerable lyrics, DeSilva offers a refreshing take on the human condition that is so honest, it’s radical.

​Specifically, the tracks Drifter and Worry focus on anxiety patterns and the challenges that come with striving to remain emotionally present through mental health hardships.

​Another single, Queen If The Backyard, is a musically beautiful portrayal of the magic of youth and the feeling of invincibility that comes with being young and naive.

​Through their openness and authenticity, DeSilva can make listeners feel less alone in their struggles and create a sense of community.
