Silhouette is the mysterious musical alter ego of Leeds singer Helena Gee. She will be releasing her debut single, ‘Masquerade’ through Cool For Cats (Fight Like Apes, Thomas Tantrum & The Kabeedies) on the 18th May. Silhouette's self-described “dark pop” music is complimented by her dark fashion attire on stage, always dressed in black and behind a mass of dark hair, front row beware of her icy stare! Silhouette combines her sinister guitar sound, influenced by the likes of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, with the lyrics/pop melodies of her favourite girls groups such as the Shangri-Las and The Crystals. Masquerade is a true tale of a young lady, whom Silhouette sees the dark car crash side to but nobody else does. Prior to the creation of Silhouette, Helena was in the all girl band “The Ivories”. After supporting the likes of Placebo and Sisters Of Mercy, the girls split, Helena moved to London in 2007 and began writing some tracks for Basement Jaxx. She then adopted the name Silhouette, an aptly enigmatic pseudonym chosen after writing the song “I Am A Silhouette,” a tale of being able to slither threw a room unseen and learning others secrets along the way.
