VIDEO: DYLLON BURNSIDE – SILENCE

You may think you know Dyllón Burnside as the sexy and charismatic Ricky Evangelista Wintour on the hit FX series Pose, but now the singer/actor is ready to get a bit more up close and personal.

Today Burnside has released the visual to his new single Silence, and might I say it’s quite sensual. I also love his sexy falsetto over the electro/R&B beat, giving me Janet Jackson vibes.

“Where we are in dating is often a reflection of where we are personally,” Burnside tells MTV News. “I found myself in this place of really using dating, or sex, or connecting with people in intimate relationships as a way to self-soothe and distract me from the things that I was dealing with personally, or things that I wasn’t dealing with… It’s like a drug. I needed a real quick hit of validation, of some kind of affirmation of my beauty, of my worthiness, or my value.” “Silence” is the first track off a forthcoming EP, which will explore similarly cathartic territory through a sound Burnside describes as “funky, sexy, and super cool.” Because, as he says, “We can’t heal what we don’t talk about.”

I’m definitely loving this side of Dyllon, who, BTW, got his start in the boy band 3D, and hope we’ll get a full-length album from him soon.
