Syd is reemerging with her first new track in three years. The singer-songwriter is releasing “Die For This,” a first glimpse at what to expect from her upcoming EP. The track is out now via Free Lunch/Warner Records; it premiered today (July 7) as BBC Radio 1’s New Music Show as the “Hottest Record in the World.”
“With writing, it's about creating something that did not exist before,” she explained at the time. “Making something out of thin air and having the time to sit with it and perfect it and get it right… That's what I love about it. Especially because… I mean, I've always thought I have a cool voice, a pretty voice. But singing was the last thing that I started doing. And I'm still not completely comfortable doing it. I’m still learning and it's crazy because it's been over 10 years now that I've been professionally doing it. I'm just now starting to feel like, ‘Okay, yeah, I do this.’”
