Album Review: Syd - Fin

Ex-Odd Future member and current The Internet bandleader Sydney "Syd" Bennett insists that Fin is just a side project, coming as it does a couple weeks after the release of keyboardist Matt Martians' The Drum Chord Theory.

Even though it's unlikely to win her many new fans, it's pretty decent unless you're expecting the warm neo-soul of Ego Death. At its best, Fin sounds like a mix of modern trap and '90s artists like Aaliyah if she sang about women instead of men. The breathy vocals do wear thin by the album's second half — where a feature from 6LACK shows up for a much-needed change of pace.
