Syd Carter West has dropped her newest single, “The Ugly Truth,” and there’s nothing ugly about this song. West possesses the vocals of veterans three-times her age and the presence of legends like Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury. From start to finish you’re gripped by a combination of incredible talent and stylistic production that complements the overall energy of this artist. This track is just a sample of what’s to come off of her upcoming album of the same name, The Ugly Truth.
At the core of each of Syd Carter West’s songs is a message of empowerment, authenticity, and vulnerability; “The Ugly Truth” is a perfect example of that.“I am my own person and my own individual whether you accept it or not. I went through hell trying to change myself, and it’s not worth it. I would rather be ridiculously weird than normal,” West explains.
The not-so-ugly truth is that Syd Carter West is a musical force to be reckoned with, and there’s no doubt that she’ll continue to mesmerize audiences with her combination of authenticity and raw talent–a rare find these days.
