    ‘Yesterday Is Heavy’ is a bold and inventive step forward from an artist who has been threatening to make this kind of artistic statement for some time.

    From the descending, soulful lines on “Backwards” with its urgent pulse to the glassy textures of “Vera (Judah Speaks)" with a club energy always moments away from being revisited, refreshingly, Yesterday Is Heavy never lets you veer too far from the present tense.

    A final project that is both delicate and explosive. Whether curating the voices of those around him, serving as the production-backbone of a track, or cultivating and polishing his own voice, Lil Silva delivers.

    It sounds very busy, but Silva never loses the balance of these productions.
