The Internet

Young star in the making

Syd. "Shake Em Off." FIN, Columbia Records, 2017.

Can't stop listening to this one. Been digging Syd since her days with The Internet ("Girl" is one of my favourite tracks), her guest appearance last year on Kaytranada's "You're The One" off 99.9% marked one of the record's best jams, and she's seriously brought it on FIN, her debut studio album.

I do it for the thrill, for the rush

KAYTRANADA, Syd. "YOU'RE THE ONE." 99.9%, XL RECORDINGS, 2016.

Start your weekend off right with this banger, featuring those sexy, other-worldly vocals from Syd of The Internet and Odd Future fame. And those hand claps. 

Check out the below video, which just dropped earlier this week, directed by Shomi Patwary and made possible by the stellar Canadian entity MuchFACT. Stylistically, Patwary tells Pitchfork that the video "was influenced by the look of black sitcoms from the early 90s -- from Martin to Living Single and UPN sitcoms. The African prince idea derived from the plot of Coming To America."

This is how you hotline bling.
