V★Silver: A grunge heart in a disco ball.

V★Silver is the New York–based shimmering alter ego of singer, songwriter, and record producer Vanessa Silberman. Her music fuses prism-colored alt-pop with pastel-glossed, blooming melodies, radiant synths, cinematic textures, and raw, honest lyrics that build tension through heart-forward emotion.

Her debut single “Chasing Magic” marked the launch of the project, a heart-charged pop gem crafted for anyone who believes in chasing the unseen. Co-produced and mixed by Grammy-nominated engineer Justin Hergett (Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Shiny Toy Guns) alongside Silberman, the track introduced listeners to a sonic world of longing, love, and transformation.

Across her self-produced releases (with the exception of “Chasing Magic”), V★Silver explores emotional duality — transforming heartbreak into shimmer and gold while embracing vulnerability, self-acceptance, and the courage to live authentically. Musically, the first EP blends ’70s and ’80s anthemic pop influences with dream pop textures and modern production.

These songs form Side A of her EP The Cost of Light — the brighter half of a two-part project exploring empowerment, beauty, ambition, and emotional connection, while acknowledging the sacrifices required to evolve and live fully in the light.

Opening the companion EP Everything I Couldn’t Say (Side B), the new single “Quiet Rage” (out 3/13/26) reveals the project’s rawer vulnerable emotional counterpart. The track captures the feeling of being restrained, pressured, and suffocated before transforming that tension into awakening and the courage to speak up. At its core, the song is about allowing pain to become permission — reclaiming emotional empowerment and empathy as strengths rather than weaknesses.

Built around stark simplicity, “Quiet Rage” centers on three chords, guitar, light percussion, and cello featuring New York–based cellist Michelle Rose, an artist on Silberman’s label.

Together, The Cost of Light and Everything I Couldn’t Say form a full album built around dual truths: light and shadow, empowerment and vulnerability, love and bare-souled honesty — music for dreamers chasing hope, healing, and the next version of themselves.

Outside of the V★Silver project, Silberman toured extensively as a solo artist, performing over 800 shows between 2015–2020. She is the founder of A Diamond Heart Production, a label established in 2014 that has released more than 130 records, and is an established record producer and engineer. Silberman is also one half of the cinematic alt-pop duo Lovecolor, alongside actor and musician Ryan Carnes.
