"Silhouettes" is a song by Swedish house producer and DJ Avicii featuring vocals from Swedish singer Salem Al Fakir. The track was first released on 27 April 2012 in the United Kingdom.[2] It had previously been leaked on the internet in early 2011, albeit with a different song pitch.[citation needed] Some music blogs erroneously posted "Flash" by Tatana and Scaloni.[3][unreliable source?]

Chart performance

[edit]

For the week ending 11 May 2012, "Silhouettes" debuted at number fifty on the Irish Singles Chart.[5] The track marked Avicii's fourth appearance on the chart, following "Seek Bromance", "Collide", and "Levels" - which peaked at number forty-nine and number three respectively.

Music video

[edit]

A music video was released on YouTube on 7 June 2012.[6] The music video shows a person, presumably a trans woman, before and after undergoing gender-affirming surgery, and how the surgery improves their social life. An alternate version just featuring Avicii performing at various venues in the United States has also been produced.
