“It’s such a special project to me as I’m continuing to find my sound and voice in songwriting,” shares Sydney on Luckiest Girl Alive. “It’s about going through a relationship and its quick ending and going through all of the stages until you remind yourself who you are. I really do feel like the luckiest girl alive to create this project and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”
On the release of new single “Shadow,” she adds, “it’s a song that’s about coming to terms with the end of a relationship. It’s bittersweet when you can feel angry and sad about a person you still care about. You want the best for them even when the feeling isn’t always mutual. It’s about when the other person doesn’t want to acknowledge what the relationship was and learning to move on from that. ‘Shadow’ is one of my favorite songs and I think it will really resonate with a lot of people.”
The project opens with title track “Luckiest Girl Alive” which showcases her dynamic vocals as she speaks on having life fall into place after meeting that special someone. Angsty guitar driven track “Forgive and Forget Me” serves as a bold declaration of moving on from those who have burned her. Meanwhile “Not Now But Someday” is a hopeful message for finding the right person at the wrong time. On the other hand, latest single “Shadow” speaks to leaving a mark on the people who made a lasting impression on you and a part of them will always follow you around. EP closer “Stay” is for those who have always and will continue to support you, regardless of the obstacles you may face along the way.
Luckiest Girl Alive follows the recent release of Sydney’s debut album 17 Young and Stunning which sees the emerging artist describing the highs and lows of young love while her newest venture finds her settling into a sound and style that best represents the artist she aims to be. Luckiest Girl Alive was recorded at John and Martina McBride’s Blackbird Studios in Nashville, produced by Kim Wood Sandusky (Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Thomas Rhett), mixed and mastered by Greg Collins (Gwen Stefani, Ingrid Michaelson, Michelle Branch).
Sydney’s powerhouse vocals, memorable hooks, and ability to write relatable anthems for Gen-Z makes her an essential artist on the rise. At just 19 years old, the New York-based singer-songwriter draws inspiration from the likes of Taylor Swift, Stevie Nicks, and Adele, as her songs embody earnest narratives that mesh pop melodies with folk and rock undertones. To date, Sydney has amassed over 1 million streams and garnered media support from the likes of Voice of America, Cowgirl Magazine, Whiskey Riff, and Spindle Magazine among others. Captivating audiences with her distinctive voice and stage presence, she has opened for American music icon Sheryl Crow and performed at the largest single-night fundraiser for the American Cancer Society at the 50th Annual Cattle Baron’s Ball in Dallas headlined by Shania Twain. She has also had the privilege of singing the National Anthem at various sporting events for the Texas Rangers, Carolina Hurricanes, and Dallas Sidekicks, to name a few.
