Best known for bringing her screen presence to Booksmart and Ma, Diana Silvers has another creative side that her fans know just as well: music. An accomplished singer-songwriter, instrumentalist, and recording artist, Silvers has carved out a sound of her own with soft, cinematic folk and indie-acoustic melodies. Her November 2025 debut, 'From Another Room', released through Capitol Records, earned warm critical praise and opened doors to major live touring opportunities.

Now, Silvers is turning the page with her second album, digging deeper into the messy business of growing up, confronting grief, and making sense of life along the way.

Diana Silvers is taking on two of life’s biggest certainties, and she had plenty to say about everything in between. On her second album, 'Daughter of Sorts', the actress explores growing up, death, grief, and renewal through deeply personal songwriting. Speaking to Variety, Silvers summed up the record with a reflection on life’s inevitable milestones.

“There’s only two things that are certain in this life: birth and death,” she said. “And everything in between is the journey between those two absolute truths of existing.”

Following her November 2025 debut, 'From Another Room', the singer-songwriter returns with a record that balances devastating reflections with uplifting moments. 'Magnolia Tree' opens with a hopeful look towards the future, while '(Un)Lovers' explores the complications of young love. Elsewhere, 'Dorothy', a strings-laden character study inspired by The Wizard of Oz, examines the harsher realities of growing up.

Silvers also drew on family and loss, with 'Riviera' reflecting on a turbulent parental relationship and 'Birdsong' exploring the aftermath of grief. The album closes with 'Going, Gone', a sparsely worded elegy rooted in acceptance, bringing its emotional journey to a thoughtful conclusion.

Despite its deeply personal foundations, Silvers hoped listeners will find pieces of their own lives in the songs, particularly through the relationships that define them.

“I really, really hope that people see themselves in it,” Silvers said of the album to Variety. “I know what it means to me, and I think there are songs that people are going to also apply to relationships with their mothers, their lovers, their friends.”

And while Silvers' acting chops are on display in Billy Knight, the tease of her second album takes an even more emotional turn, especially given the deeply personal touch she has woven into one of its songs.

Diana Silvers makes the album even more personal with four minute-long interludes, which she learned to produce herself after picking up ProTools. The final interlude, '8.8', features a voicemail from her father, recorded before his death. She discovered the message just two days after he passed, and its words captured the complicated nature of their relationship.

“You never talk to me, but I wish you would,” her father says in the recording, his voice accompanied by a softly strummed acoustic guitar. Silvers describes the message as something that “perfectly summed up our relationship,” noting that his kind words were still tinged with disappointment. Rather than soften that difficult history, she chose to preserve it, giving her father a lasting place on the record.
