Selected by Syd B

Singer, songwriter and all-around creative powerhouse Syd B is back with her delicate and enchanting brand of tender R&B bops that are cementing her status as one of the greatest bright young things to burst through the internet waves.

 

Syd’s latest track, ‘Lights On’, is ultimately a homage to the endless journey into adulthood that doesn’t truly have a final destination – it is a path marked with trials and tribulations as we ultimately try to better ourselves day by day.

 

The air in which Syd B creates is surrounded by authenticity and relatability as her musings are often left as they organically were, without too much outside meddling. This makes Syd B one of the most relatable voices coming through the new age of chilled R&B as her experiences of navigating the world as a young woman shine through in all their mistakes and glory within Syd’s work.

 

Speaking on the latest track, Syd revealed, “This song is about making the decision to lose a companion, and recommitting to myself. I think commitments to yourself are made and renewed yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily. It’s all so blurry when you love and care for someone, but setting boundaries should feel like growing pains, not like attacks.  As women, we are told that the kindness is all to aspire to in a partner. If someone is seemingly “good to you” you’re greedy to ask for more. You do not need permission to choose yourself.”
