October 23, 2020

Sydney Sprague has announced her brand new album “maybe i will see you at the end of the world” due out February 26th and released her new song and music video for “steve” out now. The 28-year-old, who recently signed to Rude Records, carries the same fire, creativity, and wit of her 90’s pop idols, combined with her familiar-yet-surprising hooks and hard-hitting, topical lyrics. “The true story of ‘Steve’ is me getting fed up with my whole life and starting over” explains Sydney on the song. “I was stuck in a dead-end job, surrounded by toxic friends and a failing relationship, living in an apartment I hated. I wrote this song at my breaking point, when I was finally like, enough, and I cut all of the bad out of my life”. Fans can also check out the song and acoustic video for “i refuse to die”, which was released last week.
