Sydney Rose releases a brand new single “Briston,” reflecting on unhealthy relationships with soulful piano and vocals
Singer/songwriter Sydney Rose has released her new single “Briston,” available now through Public Consumption. The piano-led track features hushed vocals and captures Rose reflecting on an unhealthy relationship, culminating in the powerful refrain, “You don’t know me.”
“One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to start writing songs that make me the happiest,” Rose shared. “On New Year’s Day, I wrote ‘Briston’ and it felt like the first time where I was actually telling the whole truth. I want to make better decisions as I grow older, and one of those decisions was breaking off bad relationships. After writing this song, I know now that this is not all I’m going to get. I deserve better.”
“Briston” arrives just ahead of Rose’s “Coming Up Roses” co-headline tour with Rosie Darling, which kicks off at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn, NY on June 19. Tickets for all dates are currently on sale. For the latest ticketing information, visit Sydney Rose’s official website.
Last fall, Rose released her debut album One Sided via Public Consumption, which The Luna Collective praised as “a showcase of the singer at her most comfortable and powerful.” The album featured singles such as “You’d Be Stars (feat. chloe moriondo)” and the wistful ballad “The New Kid.” Written almost entirely by Rose, One Sided marked a return to her stripped-back acoustic roots, with tender reflections on childhood, love, and friendship.
In 2022, Rose’s debut EP You Never Met Me and its follow-up This Kind of Thing Doesn’t Last highlighted her intimate lyricism and candid honesty, complemented by understated synths, muted drum machines, and layered harmonies. PEOPLE Magazine named her one of their Emerging Artists To Watch, and Under The Radar noted, “‘You Never Met Me’ is the sound of Rose finding herself in her music and introducing herself to the world, tracing all of the messy contours of teenage heartbreak in the process.”
Last year, Rose released several singles, including “I can’t live without you (feat. Charlie Oriain),” which Sweety High described as “a whispery, gorgeous ballad straight from the heart.” Stereogum praised “Tell Him I Miss Him” as “lovely and delicate,” noting, “[the] achingly spare song … slowly layers on more instruments and effects without losing any heart.”
