SYD TAYLOR Releases Debut Album & Shares Video for "Time To Go!"
SHARES VIDEO FOR “TIME TO GO!”
Today, Detroit-born, Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, model and producer Syd Taylor releases self-produced debut album After the Fact. The new record represents a life changing experience for Taylor as she further explores her identity, claims her voice and practices honesty within the spiraling feeling of isolation as she launches her solo career after 10 years in Stereo Jane with twin sister Emilia Paige. Previous singles – “After the Fact”, “Heaven”, "Honeycomb”, “My Man” and “Love of Your Life” – received placements on Spotify’s curated playlists including All New Pop, A Perfect Day, Fresh Finds Pop, New Music Friday as well as Deezer’s Rising Pop.
“I set out on a journey of self-discovery and self-understanding, and I can confidently say that in writing this album, that’s exactly what I did,” Taylor says of the album. “‘After the Fact’ is a body of work that fully captures who I am as a person and as a creative. It’s the first time I’ve been able to sit down and make something truly for me. This album is raw and real. It’s confident and bitchy. It’s empowering and heartbreaking. It’s the process of figuring out who you are and learning to embrace every part of it.
To coincide with the album release, Taylor also shares a video for the catchy, guitar-heavy “Time to Go!” directed by Matthew Takes. “I really wanted to dive into this ’60s Brit rock world with my visuals for Time to Go!. It felt so true to who I am, and I had such a fun time creating it!,” she says of the video.

More on Syd Taylor & After the Fact…
Syd Taylor's debut solo LP, After the Fact, emerged after a three-month period of intensive creation in her Los Angeles apartment. This marked a departure from her lifelong collaboration with her twin sister in their band, a change that compelled Taylor to explore her individual identity as both an artist and a person. Having spent years prioritizing others, she dedicated herself to creating something truly personal. This introspection fueled the rawly honest lyrics of After the Fact, an album entirely written and produced by Taylor as she discovered her unique voice and gained newfound confidence. “It’s the first time I’ve been able to sit down and make something truly for me. No one telling me what genre to lean into, what producer to hand my demos to, or even how to present myself. I know I’m not perfect, so why pretend to be some perfectly polished pop version of myself? I wanted to get as far away from that as possible. And in doing that, I made something that feels perfect to me — which is imperfect.”
