Syd has helped the Internet become one of the few projects that escaped Odd Future-mania through her own perspective as a queer woman and the band's devotion to timelessly smooth funk/R&B grooves. She's prepping a solo album for this year entitled Fin, and has now shared the first single "All About Me." It's a complete 180 from her main gig, a skeletal modern R&B song that features an uncharacteristically hard beat (courtesy of the Internet's Steve Lacy) and Syd taking on more aggressive ruminations in her approach.The video is dressed in ominous cool colours and has Syd hanging out in a parking garage with various OFWGKTA folks like Tyler, the Creator and Hodgy (where has he been?). Check both the song and the clip out below.Phil is a Noisey staff writer. He's on Twitter.
