When Silver Turns to Gold

Release date: Aug 2, 2026

Genre: Pop Jazz/R&B

Label: Independent

On Aug 2, Nitzan Birnbaum released his new single that begins almost like a musical theatre piece evoking endless fields of green and blue skies. The singer’s heartfelt belting is truly warming, and just like the lyrics, the song is a big hug. The densely layered harmonies, doubles and vocal backing really provide an amazing auditory blanket, and to me, connected back to Jacob Collier’s genre bending folk-jazz-pop project In My Room. Nitzan Birnbaum really knows their way around every instrument, and his arrangement skills are purely astonishing.

The lyrics talk about someone who’s universe centers around a person, and you can feel the absolute love and adoration that the singer has.

Kiss me hug me
tell me that you love me
hold me down on the floor,
when silver turns to gold

Just as he sings about, listening to this song perfectly captures the feeling of finally finding a home in someone.
