One of our favorite artists and creative visionaries, AUNCE, has released “Silver Sun”, and as always, she has exceeded our expectations. We were eager to experience the official music video, and it captivated us from the very first moment. AUNCE’s creative energy is unmistakable, and “Silver Sun” is no exception, offering a striking blend of raw emotion and artistic depth.
The music video opens with a dramatic, intricate piano arrangement that seamlessly intertwines with AUNCE’s commanding vocal delivery. The first lyric hits with an almost cinematic force,
“Do you remember when time stood still for us?”
This opening line is undeniably powerful, unraveling a cascade of thoughts, emotions, and memories. It is a masterful distillation of that singular feeling of being suspended in time by love, an experience that takes years to accumulate yet resonates in just a few words. True to her craft, AUNCE’s voice is both breathy and evocative, balancing restraint with a palpable sense of sorrow and confusion. The complexity of the piano line complements this emotional tension, creating a vivid contrast between fragility and strength.
Visually, the video immerses us in a dimly lit room, where dancers move fluidly yet with an undercurrent of frustration and angst. Their movements feel almost primal at times, pushing and pulling against invisible forces, embodying the song’s emotional trajectory. The fluid movements mirror the sense of love lost, emphasizing how absence leaves behind a haunting emptiness. It is as if AUNCE has crafted not just a song but an immersive experience, one that floods your senses and leaves you scrambling to process the storm of emotions. Within just 30 seconds, we were thrown into an emotional whirlwind, a cathartic plunge into the darkness of lost love and the aching void that follows happiness. This visceral connection to the audience is where AUNCE’s genius truly shines, “Silver Sun” is less a song and more an emotional thriller, gripping and intoxicating in equal measure.
Next, airy violins sweep across the soundscape, adding an ethereal quality to the already dynamic composition. As the vocals return, AUNCE’s nuanced control and intonation are nothing short of exhilarating. One standout moment emerges with the lyrics,
“As the silver sun, silhouette us in bliss.”
The phrasing here is nothing short of masterful. AUNCE’s use of vocal embellishments ranges from drawn-out syllables to sharp, deliberate accents, each one carrying weight and intention. Every word feels individually crafted yet coalesces into something abstract and profound, sounding both unique and universally resonant. This marks a powerful shift in the song’s tone, introducing a sense of transformation and new perspective.
Suddenly, the piano strikes a deeper chord, and the bassline rumbles into existence, a sonic shift that sends a shiver down your spine. The unexpected intensity is electric, creating a contrast that heightens the tension while feeling almost tangible in its impact. The vocals continue with,
“And oh, I’ve found this light.”
The energy builds, then suddenly drops to a complete, breathtaking silence, a moment that leaves you suspended, yearning for more. It is a bold, deliberate choice that amplifies the emotional weight of the next movement.
As the song progresses, expressions of love and loss intertwine in AUNCE’s falsetto, weaving a tapestry of vulnerability and intensity. The vocal tone teeters between sweetness and desperation, evoking a kind of pain that surpasses tears, an almost paralyzing shock. The fluid movements of the dancers become more saturated, their bodies drenched as the screen fades to black. The visual metaphor of fully saturated bodies feels like a cleansing, a physical manifestation of emotions being purged and released.
Experiencing “Silver Sun” is akin to having our emotional floodgates opened wide, as if the walls around your own vulnerability have finally been breached. It is a beautiful, almost therapeutic release, one that does not dictate how to feel but instead lets you unearth what you have kept buried. The song’s power lies in its ability to facilitate an emotional release, rather than just conveying AUNCE’s own feelings. It is not about one specific love or loss but about embracing the catharsis that comes from facing your own emotions head-on.
“Silver Sun” does not judge or instruct, it simply exists as a vessel for personal healing, a rare and transformative experience that sets it apart from anything else out there.
We were astounded and deeply moved by this unforgettable performance.
Born in Birmingham, UK, and raised near Stoke on Trent, AUNCE has cultivated a rich and diverse musical background. She studied music at the University of York before earning a PhD in Music Production from Wellington, New Zealand. After returning to London in 2024, she immersed herself in the city’s thriving creative scene, collaborating with some of its most innovative artists and producers. Her work spans multidisciplinary projects, from composing for dance films and live performances to installations that blend sound and visual art.
AUNCE’s unique vocal performance and production style have established her as a sought-after collaborator across genres, working with hip-hop artists, film composers, and more worldwide.
Beyond her artistry, AUNCE is a passionate advocate for women in music production, dedicated to building a supportive community and challenging traditional perceptions of the producer’s role. She constantly experiments with new release strategies that encourage collaboration, recognition, and community engagement, pushing boundaries not only in sound but also in how music is shared and celebrated.
Her commitment to creative synergy is also evident in the production of the "Silver Sun" music video. AUNCE’s love for contemporary dance and movement inspired her to collaborate with one of her favorite dance and film companies from Aotearoa, Threading Frames. Their stunning choreography, performed by Tyler Carney-Faleatua and Joshua Faleatua, captures the fluid, visceral emotions of the track. To further enhance the visual storytelling, AUNCE enlisted celebrated London-based digital artist Barney McCann to reinterpret the natural forces and themes of the song into a digital language. Using Python, TouchDesigner, and After Effects, McCann’s digital artwork weaves seamlessly with the organic choreography, creating a captivating visual experience.
The track itself is a testament to collaboration and craftsmanship. Written, performed, and produced by Anna Edith Daly Edgington, with additional production by Chris Hyson, "Silver Sun" features stirring strings from Tristan Carter and Charley Davenport. The song was mixed by TJ Allen and mastered by Guy Davie, ensuring that every layer of sound is finely balanced and powerfully resonant. The visual component was expertly captured by Threading Frames, with cinematography that highlights the movement’s raw energy while amplifying the song’s emotional depth.
Together, these creative minds have crafted a multidisciplinary masterpiece, where sound and movement merge to evoke the profound complexities of love and loss. AUNCE’s commitment to artistic innovation and collaboration continues to solidify her as a fearless and visionary presence in the contemporary music landscape.
