No artist from the other side of the pond has had such an impact on smooth jazz in recent times as Oli Silk. Not only is he a fan favorite on tour, but he’s also a bona fide radio darling, scoring three consecutive Billboard #1 singles with his latest album “6,” proving that his music, inspired by his life and surroundings in the UK, resonates and endures with American audiences as well. With ‘In Real Life’, his seventh album on the Trippin N Rhythm label, Silk continues to explore the middle, the sides and the edges of the genre with his signature style that has served him well over the course of his last six albums, and he doesn’t disappoint on this new collection of songs inspired by his life experiences.

As a leading member of the UK Collective, a group of London’s finest musicians, Silk has been the musical director for all the artists from the US performing in Europe, which has helped him hone his musical skills even further. On “In Real Life”, his latest musical chapter, Silk proves once again that his ability to create unique, memorable musical messages is no accident, but that his experience builds on the foundation he has laid in his previous works. It’s a unique ride through the stories he weaves, and he takes you on a satisfying journey full of feelings and moods that are sure to uplift you.

The new album is scheduled for release May 5, 2024.
