Alt-pop meets western pop as Sidney Bird channels Palm Springs drama in "Bitter"

The song is about snobby young men in high society who act childish and chauvinistic. The Palm Springs filmed comedic music video tells the story of a housewife and her pool boy. Sidney Bird has over 5 million streams and has cultivated a fervent fanbase with her authentic crossover releases. The artist has recently opened for the likes of Natasha Bedingfield and Hans Williams.  

Sidney Bird is a southwestern darling making a name for herself in Brooklyn. Born and raised in Arizona, Bird holds her own in the scene of Western pop artists like Kacey Musgraves and Leon Bridges, but also leans into the indie pop scene taking influence from the likes of Maggie Rogers and Noah Kahan. A true crossover act, Bird feels a strong creative impulse when home in Arizona, writing all of her songs there before fleshing them out with producers in Brooklyn. Her latest single "Bitters" is about her encounters with snobby young men in high society who act childish and chauvinistic. The accompanying music video was filmed in Palm Springs and is a cinematic visual narrating the comedic story of a housewife and her pool boy.
