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 emotional tension through heart-forward storytelling.
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 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 project blends ’70s and ’80s anthemic pop influences with dream pop textures and modern production.
These songs form Side A: The Cost of Light — the brighter half of a two-part body of work exploring empowerment, beauty, ambition, and emotional connection, while acknowledging the sacrifices required to evolve and live fully in the light.
Side B: Everything I Couldn’t Say, part of the full-length album The Cost of Light and Everything I Couldn’t Say, reveals a quieter, rawer, and more stripped-down side of Silberman’s artistry, weaving together acoustic guitar, country-inspired textures, hypnotic percussion, haunting strings, airy synths, and harp, with some moments featuring only Vanessa accompanied by guest cellist Michelle Rose.
These arrangements support an empowering yet vulnerable message — embracing individuality, questioning politics, speaking your truth, and softly letting go of heartbreak.
Together, The Cost of Light and Everything I Couldn’t Say form a full-length album built around dual truths: light and shadow, empowerment and vulnerability, shimmer and bare-souled honesty — created for dreamers chasing hope, healing, and the next version of themselves.
The Cost of Light and Everything I Couldn’t Say will release on Success Records Friday, July 17th, 2026

“Everything I Couldn’t Say is billed as the more meditative side of the album, trading in the glittering synth pop textures of Side A for a plaintive sound rooted in acoustic instrumentation and vulnerable lyricism.”– Under the Radar
“Ladyhawke’s magical euphoria colliding with Robyn’s heart-on-sleeve electro-pop and Cibo Matto’s art-pop sensibilities, straight out of a Girls episode circa 2007” – SPIN Magazine
