Sy Smith Shares Sensual New Single ‘Slide’

It has been five years since the release of Sy Smith’s critically acclaimed album “Sometimes A Rose Will Grow In Concrete.” Following her guest appearances on Zo! and Tall Black Guy’s exceptional 2021 album “Abstractions,” the talented and Emmy-nominated singer/songwriter and actress reunites with her previous collaborators to produce her new single “Slide.”

This song marks the first preview of Smith’s highly anticipated upcoming album “Until We Meet Again,” which is set to be released in December. The album is executive produced by the versatile Hip-Hop/R&B artist Phonte and will serve as Smith’s official debut under the record label +FE MUSIC, an extension of the Grammy-nominated Alt-Soul pair, The Foreign Exchange. Notably, the album will also feature appearances from renowned drummer Sheila E. and jazz trumpeter Chris Botti.

Speaking about the single, Sy Smith said: “When I first heard the skeletal bones of this track Zo! sent me, I was pulled in by all the rhythms. I knew immediately that I wanted to write something very direct. An invitation to “meet me where I am – in this space – I won’t be coming to you’ kinda thing. This track demanded that. Melodically, I imagined Marvin Gaye writing a song for Diana Ross during his ‘I Want You’ era.” Stream the single here.
