Syd, the frontwoman for alt-R&B darlings intanetz, unfurls an epic tale of love and loss with lush production on ‘Broken Hearts Club.' Read our review:
Around the start of the pandemic, Syd found herself with an album full of sanguine love songs that no longer resonated with her. A searing split with a long-term partner in a world of isolation pushed her to add more to the project that reflected the relationship’s end. She could have just as easily started over, reverted back to the more hedonist tone of her 2017 debut. Surprisingly, most of the album she settled on doesn’t languish in heartbreak.
By the album’s center, its protagonist has gone from cautiously falling in love to full-on plummeting. Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, famed collaborator to Syd’s R&B foremothers Brandy, Monica, and Mariah Carey, among many more, produced and co-wrote “Control” with Syd; it’s where her craven adulation is made clear. “You kiss my neck, I melt away,” she says over frenetic percussive flourishes that sound like they’re nearly tripping over themselves.
Syd is formally inducted into the album’s titular club with the help of Internet bandmate Steve Lacy, who produced the downcast “BMHWDY,” a song where Syd sings of familiar romantic decimation: “I deleted all your pictures/You wanna stay friends and that’s big a ya/But girl I can’t get witcha.
