A shiny new pop number from foremost Australian indie-pop exponent Lenka, shares "Silhouette". Entering with a foot in the past, the track's revivalist notions challenges an 80's pop energy. Answering with snappy guitar riffs and mellowed funk synths, Lenka oozes a breezy wisp of dreamy vocals and sparkly sentiment. A song for the times about being burnt to a crisp, Lenka's quite sarcasm and light-hearted humor celebrates the zeitgeist of burnout mentality as she explains:
"'Silhouette' is a delicious 1980’s pop jam about being worn down by life to the point where you feel like you're disappearing and becoming numb. Almost a nihilistic feeling, but in a joyful way! It's fun to get creative with your more negative emotions and wear them like a costume, turn them into armour. Sonically this track takes inspiration from soulful 80s synth pop icons such as Eurythmics, The Pointer Sisters and Pat Benatar."
