Have you ever been taken aback when you realize you've found someone who is actually genuinely kind and cares about you? It takes you a second to process, but then once you give in, it's the most wonderful feeling in the world. At that point, all you want to do is be by their side; they're you're newfound peace, a breath of fresh air in a world full of chaos and madness. "Honeycomb" by Syd Taylor is a beautiful and vulnerable song about finding that somebody who would do anything to make you feel good. Even when they can't be physically with you, they'll check in with you every chance they get just to make sure you're okay or if you need anything, because that's just the kind of person they are. Syd sings, "you could stick to me 'cause you're sweet like honeycomb".
"Honeycomb" is a highly emotional and raw song, taking influence from classic rock mixed with modern pop elements to create a cathartic ballad. The track starts with piano, and as the song builds it adds in strings, bass, and last but not least, drums. Syd Taylor sings with so much soul and passion, flipping her voice from strong, powerful chest moments to soft, gentle and airy. There's some jazz, soul and blues tones thrown in there, reminiscent of The Beatles and Elton John. The vibe is very 70's soft rock concert encore moment - you want to just wave your hands up in the air and sing along with the gorgeous hook while the instrumentation goes wild.
Syd Taylor is an independent singer/songwriter, producer and model based in Los Angeles, California but is originally from Detroit, Michigan. She's been singing and writing songs on guitar and piano ever since she was six years old. For the past 17 years, she was the lead singer in the duo Stereo Jane with her twin sister. Just this past summer, Syd decided it was time to break free from her label and do some solo work. Taking inspiration from classic icons like The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, and Nina Simone, Syd puts her own modern twist on an raw rock vibe. She's been working on her solo project in her home studio, writing and producing all her own work. She released her first solo single, "Love Of Your Life", earlier this year. "Honeycomb" is only her second single, which means there's a lot more to come in the year ahead; so make sure to follow Syd on her socials below to keep up on her new independent journey!
