Yasmin Sydney is an emerging Santa Monica, CA-based artist, who cites the likes of Nothing But Thieves, OneRepublic, Ariana Grande, Charlie Puth, Rosenfeld, The Weeknd and The Neighbourhood as influences on her work.
Sydney’s latest single the Adrian Lopez-produced, Gerina Di Marco co-written “Mercy” is a slickly produced pop track featuring a glistening and arpeggiated guitar, atmospheric synths, skittering beats paired with big hooks and choruses. Seemingly meshing elements of R&B and electro pop in a way that nods at JOVM mainstays Beacon, the radio friendly production serves as lush and brooding bed for the Santa Monica-based artist’s pop starlet expressive delivery.
“Mercy,” as Sydney explains is a song that “explores the confusion of uncertain love.” And throughout the song’s narrator seems desperate to get some kind of clarity and resolution to her situation.
