Intriguing and liberating, ‘Airplane Mode’ sees San Diego-based creative Frankie Silver choose authenticity over fictional appearances. Finally reclaiming his true self in the face of emotional struggles, the talented singer and songwriter is the fiercest he’s ever been, delving into a powerful and bright pop single boasting a terrific degree of relatability. Everyone’s likely to have witnessed or been part of a similar situation over their lives. Some get tangled and can’t see the exit button; others confidently walk out the front door, drawing their sorrows in cathartic activities. Such as ‘Airplane Mode’.
Featuring production by renowned sonic alchemist Matthew Joshua Hall, the record sounds like a million dollars. Flashy, mainstream-leaning and dance-inducing, the single will instantly put a smile on anyone’s face, even perhaps causing a little internal turmoil if one were to connect to the lyrical storytelling. While a past toxic relationship provides the song’s starting point, ‘Airplane Mode’ then shifts into a more universal gear, as it urges listeners to take a break when needed; hustlin’ and bustlin’ is not always the right choice, especially when negative emotional baggage is present.
As Silver eloquently explains: “This song is my anthem for digital and emotional escapism. It’s about that overwhelming need to hit ‘pause’ on the noise. Whether it’s a draining relationship, social pressures, or the constant buzz of expectation. Healing isn’t always about pushing forward; sometimes, it’s about pushing pause.” Finding himself after a soul-draining, toxic relationship, Frankie Silver looks for authenticity and self-confidence, penning an electrifying pop tune that’s as introspective as it is exuberant.
