Silver Cities

SILVER CITIES IS A FRESH DANCE-ROCK OUTFIT FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, DESCRIBED AS A FUSION OF PARAMORE & CALVIN HARRIS, WITH A CUTTING EDGE ‘CLUB’ INSPIRED SOUND THAT WILL HAVE YOU HOOKED & MAKE YOU WANT TO DANCE FROM THE MOMENT YOU PRESS PLAY! THE BRAND NEW SINGLE ‘WHAT YOU WAITING FOR’ IS RELEASED 13TH DECEMBER, CLOSELY FOLLOWED BY THEIR DEBUT ALBUM 'LIGHTS'! ALTHOUGH THE NAME SILVER CITIES MAY BE NEW TO THE EAR, THE SOURING POWERHOUSE VOCALS OF HAYLEY JENSEN WILL BE VERY FAMILIAR - PRIOR TO JOINING SILVER CITIES, HAYLEY SHOT TO FAME AFTER PLACING 4TH IN THE 2ND SERIES OF AUSTRALIAN IDOL, AFTER WHICH SHE FORMED A RECORD LABEL, RELEASED A SOLO ALBUM AND TOURED THE COUNTRY, PERFORMED FOR COALITION FORCES IN IRAQ, FOR THE PRIME MINISTER ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS, AND AT ALL MAJOR ENTERTAINMENT CENTRES AROUND AUSTRALIA. HAYLEY MET THE OTHER HALF OF SILVER CITIES, SAM YOUNG, IN 2010 AND THEY’VE BEEN COLLABORATING MUSICALLY EVER SINCE… “WE FOUND IMMEDIATELY THAT WE HAD A POWERFUL SYNERGY AND COMMON PURPOSE IN SONGWRITING: TO MAKE CUTTING EDGE, RHYTHMIC AND MELODIC POP MUSIC WITH LYRICAL INTEGRITY AND SUBSTANCE – OH YEAH, AND IT HAS TO BE SUPER CATCHY! WE‘D BEEN PERFORMING & SONGWRITING TOGETHER FOR A FEW YEARS BEFORE THE SILVER CITIES CONCEPT EVOLVED ORGANICALLY THROUGH OUR WRITING…FOR THE MOST PART, THE MELODIES, LYRICS & MUSIC WERE ALL WRITTEN SEPARATELY - THE FIRST WERE WRITTEN WHILST I WAS ON SAFARI IN SOUTH AFRICA – SUCH AN INSPIRING AND WILD PLACE! SAM WOULD SEND ME NEW TRACKS OR IDEAS, AND I‘D OVERLAY MELODIES AND VOCALS AND SHOOT THEM BACK TO HIM. IT JUST WORKED PERFECTLY FOR US! AND ONCE WE WERE SETTLED ON THE SONGS, WE KNEW EXACTLY WHICH PRODUCER WE WANTED TO WORK WITH TO BRING THEM TO LIFE. ” – HAYLEY SILVER CITIES DEBUT ALBUM, 'LIGHTS', WAS PRODUCED BY TOP AUSTRALIAN POP PRODUCER, LINDSAY RIMES (TIMOMATIC, JOEL & BENJI MADDEN, STAN WALKER), MASTERED AT STUDIO 301 BY LEON ZERVOS (RIHANNA, P!NK, MAROON 5). THEIR DEBUT SINGLE AND TITLE TRACK & FROM THE ALBUM WAS RELEASED EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND JUST LAST MONTH RECEIVED A COVETED 'AUSTRALIAN INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARD' PRESENTED BY MUSIC OZ. THE STUNNING MUSIC VIDEO WAS BROADCAST ON 'RAGE' AND ADDED TO ‘MTV MOST WANTED’ PLAYLIST.
