Music / First LookWatch Lil Silva's subdued, suburban new videoThe London artist and BANKS collaborator shares a lingering clip for Mabel, the title track of his new EPShareLink copied ✔️July 8, 2014MusicFirst LookTextSuze Olbrich Lil Silva makes the final step from UK Funky producer to melodic solo artist (and vocalist) with the stirring, elegant “Mabel”, the central cut from his forthcoming EP. In the video directed by Laura Coulson, we get a heart-tugging snapshot of his re-imagined childhood, with archetypal scenes from those impossible-to-forget end of school year days.
