Music artist Sidney has released her new EP what if it ends?, which features the song “anything”. In the bittersweet penultimate track, Sidney reminisces about the beginning of a relationship that once made her happy, but now makes her feel lonely. She notices how much those around her are in love and secure with their own relationships, and wishes she could still experience this as well. She yearns for the love she used to experience from her significant other, who she notices is losing sight of them still being together. Sidney doesn’t want them to break up - she just wants things to go back to the way they used to be.
The beginning of the track introduces the dreamy synths implemented throughout the production before we hear Sidney’s amazing vocals. As the chorus approaches, the song’s tempo maintains its slow, chill vibes that create the overall atmosphere for “anything”, in addition to the harmonious backing vocals. The creative and distinctive drums are symbolic of the lyrics, where Sidney is struggling with how she feels in regards to her relationship. The tranquil aura the synths provide are also helped by reverberated piano notes that are located in the production of the song and are emphasized in certain instrumental sections.
Sidney is from Australia and is specifically based in Melbourne. She began her career in March 2020 with the release of her debut single “Bullet”. She released her debut EP Imposter two years later in October. Three days later, she posted a video on her YouTube channel titled “Table Talk: Musicians x Mental Health”, which featured discussions between several artists about how to cope with your mental health and how to support one another. Sidney published her second studio project Sore Loser in August 2023. She has performed her incredible music live in the past, including when she was a guest for music artist Hazlett’s COMING HOME tour. Sidney is a fantastic and rare talent in the world of music!
