S.Y.N.D.E.L, the rising new artist from New York, hails from Brooklyn and is already creating a great buzz with his latest single “ROSALUNA.” S.Y.N.D.E.L finds his music as a reflective pool of his life and sentiments, produced with a one-of-a-kind blend of R&B and trap beats.
The track is a perfect indication of Breon’s growth as an artist. His previous projects, B4 and BUY ME SOME TIME, are where Breon cut his teeth in the music scene. But with “ROSALUNA,” he dares take a stride further to delve into a direction that’s even closer to home.
The instrumental of the song seems to have an alluring feel that captures the listener at that point and sets the basis of the song. It’s an ideal mix of R&B and trap, so it sounds really fresh and unique. Breon’s vocals are smooth and soulful, adding depth and emotion to the lyrics.
In an interview, Breon said that he derived inspiration for “ROSALUNA” from a mezcal drink named Rosaluna and the memories that he relates to it. This keeps the song personal, relatable, and to a certain extent, authentic. Breon’s music has really just been classified within the genre of “Emo R&B,” but it really has been emerging in recent years. It combines R&B and emo, really piecing together a kind of new, emotional sound.
The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, and Halsey have been the pioneers of this genre, and Breon is adding himself to the list.
An unmatched voice that provides vivid sound and picture-like images is what gives Breon the promise of an up-and-coming artist. His music speaks volumes to the broken-hearted, misfits, and misunderstood, hence one of the easiest artists one can relate to.
The culturally rich streets of Brooklyn and a hip-hop city-based artist, Breon S.Y.N.D.E.L, make music that sounds like 100-plus miles per hour without the airbags—a dangerous, very exciting life he knows only too well. The journey into the world of music was catalyzed by an accident from drag racing, which lit a fire under the passion for creation, shaping the signature sound—minimal, hed. With an uncut brush of feelings, Breon uses his debut project B4 to draw vivid paintings of heartbreak and the chase for luxury, ruthlessly trying to escape from cyclic life patterns. It got highly acclaimed, hosting guest appearances from some respectable colleagues of his, including Kodie Shane and Michael Christmas. In under a year, Breon delivered the project he had been eagerly anticipated, BUY ME SOME TIME, where he delved into synth-based trap production and crafted his most popular song to date, “Double or Nothin.” Track gained lots of attention by all accounts, receiving his first ever editorial feature from none other than WONDERLAND Magazine, and helped take him past the 1 million streams barrier on Spotify. As the levels of his artistry increased, so did his sound into more intimate avenues, best described as “Emo R&B.” He has continued to build from coast to coast with a consistent quality in projects and visually appealing music videos. And with a hungry eye out for the highly anticipated shows in the future, Breon does remain a man of mystery using internet technologies to push his music and touch the hearts of the brokenhearted, the disenchanted, and misunderstood.
