New Music: Syd Sings About Her Journey Into the ‘Broken Hearts Club’

Published

R&B singer Syd recently released her newest album ‘Broken Hearts Club.’ This marks her first album since her 2017 debut ‘Fin.’

From the tracklist titles alone, you can infer that Syd is vocalizing that timeline between finding a new romantic prospect and gradually losing them from ‘Tie The Knot’ to ‘Goodbye My Love.

As previously discussed, Syd kicks off the album with ‘CYBAH‘. Syd sings about the urge to ask a woman if she is capable of breaking her heart. After feeling jaded and disillusioned by past heartbreak, there’s always that immense feeling of skepticism.

However, things move pretty quickly — the next two songs are already about tying the knot and ‘Fast Cars‘.

This trajectory is consistent with young love and the rush that happens at the beginning of every fling. Even in one of her singles — ‘Sweet‘, Syd sings:

“Ask me how I know that this is love
‘Cause it’s gotta be, gotta be, baby
Oh yeah, yeah-yeah
Gifted onto me from up above
It’s what I’ve waited for, waited for, baby
Yeah (Yeah)”

Leave it to Syd to of course add a few slow and sensual pieces like ‘No Way’ and ‘Getting Late’ where she expresses her infatuation.

Although consistent with the overall theme, the relationship seems to start withering away. In ‘Out loud’ (featuring Kehlani), Syd confronts her girlfriend’s wishy-wash behavior by asking her to express her love boldly.

During ‘Heartfelt Freestyle,’ the singer really begins to lament the extinguished fire.

“I’m standing in the rain baby
Say you love me because I love you”

Luckily, ‘Missing Out‘ provides a bit of pick me up. The contrasts between the cool-off-you lyrics and the slow-paced instrumentals evoke those post-breakup feelings  —  not necessarily of full acceptance but of wanting an ex to realize what they’ve forfeited.

Skilla Baby Drops The Coldest (Deluxe) miixtapechiick

Earlier this year, Skilla Baby released his 16-track project, “The Coldest,” via Geffen, featuring collaborations with Polo G, Flo Milli, Moneybagg Yo, G Herbo, DaBaby, Rob49, Mozzy, NoCap, Jeremih, and Tay B.

The Detroit native has now returned with the official deluxe version, which includes additional tracks such as “Soulja Slimm” featuring Rob49, “Bobby Trap on The River,” and “Body Bangin’,” among others. The deluxe edition also features contributions from Bossman DLow, Baby Money, and Southside.

“I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous but fun at the same time,” Skilla shared during the album’s initial press release. “As an artist, I’m known as the ‘girl’s guy,’ but I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions: mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc. I say that to say sorry for the wait, but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…,” he continued.

The deluxe version of “The Coldest” follows Skilla Baby’s joint tour with Rob49, “Vultures Eat The Most Tour.”

Mustard Releases New Album ‘Faith Of A Mustard Seed’  miixtapechiick

It’s been ten years since Mustard released his debut album, “10 Summers.” Now, after producing Kendrick Lamar‘s chart-topping hit “Not Like Us,” which spent two non-consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, Mustard returns with his fourth studio album, “Faith Of A Mustard Seed.”

The 14-track album features an impressive lineup, including Kirk Franklin, Lil Yachty, BlueBucksClan, 42 Dugg, Vince Staples, ScHoolboy Q, Quavo, and Rob49. The title, “Faith Of A Mustard Seed,” was inspired by the late Nipsey Hussle.

In an interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood, Mustard reminisced about a conversation with Nipsey regarding his 2019 project, “Perfect Ten,” saying, “And [Nipsey] was like, ‘Well before it’s all said and done, you gotta do Faith Of A Mustard Seed.’”
