Charli XCX, Jessie Ware, AlunaGeorge, Little Nikki and now Syron; 2012 certainly seems to be the year where genuinely enthralling female led talent is at the forefront of London’s underground nu-garage scene that – with the help of the aforementioned Miss Ware and AlunaGeorge’s current Radio 1 a-list residency – is constantly teetering on the edge of mainstream acceptance.
Released via Black Butter this Thursday, stream Syron’s brand new single ‘Breaking’ below. Easy on the ear, Syron’s easy-breezy vocal dexterity is at the fore with the hook “I keep forgetting that I’m not allowed to love you” a guaranteed ear worm for the foreseeable.
