The singer-songwriter has a magnetic and effortlessly captivating appeal, and her catalogue of tracks just seems to grow more impressive and expansive with each new release.

“When I finally realized that I was being betrayed, especially by someone who I trusted implicitly, it became clear that my instincts were right all along.” Sydney says of the track. “After the anger had cleared I really felt empowered and had no sympathy, even though he tried to make it right and turn things around… he just didn’t deserve it. Too many lies for too long.”
