Guitar funk and a riding bassline elevate the yesteryear energy and catchy yet humble vocal thread of K-Syran’s latest single Turning My Head.
The singer-songwriter, actress, author, director and lyricist notes a life immersed in all things creative, and has risen up through the musical ranks in recent years thanks to her timeless style and balancing of heartfelt issues and a clear love for the artistic process.
Still riding the wave of her evolving success – the single Intimacy became the official anthem for International Women’s Day – K-Syran continues her climb as a passionate songwriter and activist, this time dealing with the simple topic of seduction and attraction.
The self-produced Turning My Head leads with a rather vintage disco-pop arrangement of both organic and electronic traits, alongside a breathy vocal that’s equally nostalgic in its subtle yet expressive intentions.
Spacious and modest as it gathers intriguing momentum during the latter half, Turning My Head notes a memorable repeating ‘I can feel it, hope you feel it too’ as things build towards a big finish. Then to inject a higher-octane floor-filler vibe, the release also includes a Dan Thomas Remix – a hard-hitting EDM version of the song, which electrifies its elements and effectively raises the volume and the pulse of the entire mix.
Noting over 100k followers on Instagram alone, K-Syran – formally known as K-Syranhas – clearly drives with a sense of purpose and fun united at the helm. As such, her extensive collection of originals is reaching out and connecting with music fans across the board. The likes of the 2022 album Inappropriate have helped amass thousands of listeners on streaming platforms. And yet, despite her growing reputation, K-Syran maintains a sense of identity and style unconfined by industry expectation. Her style is her own, unlimited and honest, and with the remixes alongside that, her music effectively transcends the barriers of contemporary genre.
