I genuinely believe Syd is one of the greatest artists ever.
Syd, the velvet-voiced singer, songwriter, and producer known for her work with The Internet and her solo projects, such as Fin and Broken Hearts Club, continues to showcase her artistic evolution with her latest release, “Die For This.” Coming off a string of reflective singles, including “Missing Out” and the delicately emotional “Right Track,” Syd taps back into her dreamiest self with this newest track—an otherworldly ode to the type of love that makes life worth living.
“Die For This” features quirky, almost elevator-like production that’s both whimsical and strangely soothing. The beat is subtle yet replenishing, a breezy canvas that allows Syd to float with elegance. Her delivery throughout is flowy and feather-light, layering gentle vocals that feel like they’re suspended in midair. When the chorus hits, she leans into an intoxicating, almost euphoric vocal performance that could melt even Omarion’s Icebox.
Lyrically, Syd reflects on the balance between loving her own life and being completely swept up by a romantic connection so powerful, she’d risk it all. It’s a sentiment that hits deeper with each listen—not because it’s dramatic, but because it’s delivered with such softness and sincerity.
I swear to God, Syd has superpowers. She’s like a black Magneto with how she controls my mind, body, and soul.
