Syd has released Broken Hearts Club, her sophomore solo album, via Columbia Records. Stream it below.
The project, a follow-up to her 2017 solo debut Fin and EP Always Never Home, was preceded by singles “Missing Out,” “Fast Car,” and album opener “CYBAH” featuring a guest assist from Lucky Daye. The studio effort also contains collaborations with Smino (“Right Track”) and Kehlani (“Out Loud”).
The album is about a relationship I had that ended in my first real broken heart,” the singer said in a statement ahead of the studio set’s release. “It almost felt like I joined a club because all of my friends went through similar experiences. It was like a rite of passage. I started writing the album on the relationship when I was in love. You’re really getting the whole journey from the beginning to the end. I want people to find it beautiful. It’s super vulnerable, sentimental, and it’s soft. There’s touching moments and a couple of dark moments.”
