Icelandic R&B singer Silja Rós unveils ...suppress my truth, a heartfelt ballad exploring vulnerability and self-protection.
Silja Rós’ ...suppress my truth: A Deeply Personal R&B Confession
Icelandic R&B artist Silja Rós continues to captivate listeners with ...suppress my truth, the latest single from her upcoming album ...Letters from My Past. This emotionally charged ballad delves into the complexities of hiding one’s true feelings as a means of self-preservation.
With influences from Sabrina Claudio and a deep-rooted connection to jazz and soul, Silja’s emotive vocals and delicate instrumentation weave together a song that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable. The track was inspired by Silja’s own journey of revisiting old diaries and song lyrics, drawing on past heartbreaks and reflections on vulnerability.
"I’ve always been deeply connected to my emotions, but I’ve noticed how often we suppress our true feelings when they become too overwhelming to handle. It’s terrifying to show vulnerability, especially in front of someone who has hurt us." – Silja Rós
A Collaboration of Icelandic Talent
Recorded at Studio Bambus under the expert guidance of producer Stefán Örn, ...suppress my truth showcases a rich, immersive sound. Silja Rós is accompanied by her long-time collaborators and fellow musicians from the FÍH jazz program, including:
Magnus Dagsson – Guitar & Rhodes
Baldur Kristjáns – Bass
Kristófer Nökkvi – Drums
The track was mastered by Sigurdór at Skonrokk, ensuring a polished yet intimate listening experience that allows every note and emotion to shine.
A Reflection of Vulnerability and Strength
Lyrically, ...suppress my truth paints a picture of emotional self-defense, where confronting one’s deepest emotions feels both necessary and impossible. The song’s tender yet powerful production perfectly complements its themes, creating a slow-burning R&B-pop ballad filled with raw honesty.
This single serves as an introduction to Silja’s upcoming album, ...Letters from My Past, which promises to explore love, loss, self-discovery, and healing through an atmospheric blend of contemporary soul, jazz, and R&B.
