Alt-R&B savant Sylo releases his much-anticipated new album Dreamt that I Was. Loungey, sultry, and all-around experimental, Sylo’s newest offering, unfolds around the listener. Thoughtfully plucking all the beauty from the mundane, Sylo wields a voice with the viscosity of honey, leaving his fingerprint of intimate care on every second of his music. This album connects into linking his childhood to his present self, capturing the essence of his musical growth partnered with his intimate storytelling and cozy soundscapes. Sylo opens the album with Slow Down For A Minute, a reflective and optimistic track expressing the sentiment of "this too shall pass." On Alaska, he explores the struggle of coping with anxiety, questioning if the person we imagine we could be truly exists? Sylo shared:
The struggle of coping with one’s anxiety can cause you to want to make some last-ditch effort to crawl out of your skin and start over — be the person you always imagined you could be. But does that truly exist?
Executive produced by David Tanton, this personal and metaphorical journey through the album makes it a deeply resonant work. Collaborating with notable names, Sylo features Nonso Amadi on the standout track Babyboo produced by Goldchain, which will be highlighted in an upcoming SoundCloud x Hyundai campaign. The campaign emphasizes the journey of life shaping who we are and what we create. Perfectly aligning with the themes of Dreamt that I Was while blends various genres and showcasing the global influences of both artists.
