Tónlistarkonan Silja Rós og kvikmyndagerðakonan og ljósmyndarinn Alda Valentína Rós sameina krafta sína í Mengi 24.júlí næstkomandi með myndrænni tónleika upplifun. Þriðja plata Silju Rósar verður í forgrunni ásamt videolist og ljósmyndum eftir Öldu.

Silja Rós er íslensk tónlistarkona, leikkona og handritshöfundur sem hefur vakið athygli bæði fyrir tónlist sína og leiklist. Eftir að hafa starfað í Kaupmannahöfn og Los Angeles, sneri hún aftur til Íslands og hefur síðan þá markað sér sérstöðu með tónlist sem sameinar neo-soul hljóðheim með popp lagasmíðum.

Þriðja plata Silju Rósar, …letters from my past, sem kom út í byrjun sumars hefur hlotið virkilega góða dóma hérlendis og erlendis. Á plötunni eru níu frumsamin popp lög með sterkum áhrifum frá jazz og neo-soul. Mikil áhersla var lögð á bakraddaútsetningar og sótti Silja Rós innblástur til listamanna á borð við Jacob Collier, Moonchild og Yebba.

Silja Rós mun koma fram ásamt jazz gítarleikaranum Magnúsi Dagssyni og flytja plötuna í heild sinni.
