Las Vegas-born artist Sylvaner, who grew up absorbing a wide range of music from his father’s record stores, is making a confident entry with his debut single, “Pentimento.” This track is the first glimpse into a sound he spent three years meticulously crafting, shifting his focus from studio engineering to building his own creative world. “Pentimento” is the result of complete creative immersion; Sylvaner engineered, produced, wrote, and mixed the track himself, refining it through dozens of mixes until it achieved a perfect balance of intimate vulnerability and confident delivery.
Sonically, the single sits in a deeply affecting, soulful pop landscape, with Sylvaner’s emotional vocals gliding over raw electric guitar textures and cinematic space. The concept for the song came from a period of personal upheaval, inspired by the word “pentimento,” which describes old layers resurfacing beneath a painted surface. While the track reads like a classic breakup song, it becomes something far more introspective upon deeper inspection—a reflection on the parts of ourselves that remain even after a significant relationship has ended, showcasing Sylvaner’s meticulous and personal touch.
