We talk Aaliyah, The Queen and all things ‘crazy’ with South London’s Syron.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s safe to say we’ve been a fairly big fan of Syron ever since we saw the cropped-haired, bomber jacket wearing tomboy bounce onto the scene in 2011.<\/p>\n

Debut offerings such as ‘Here’ and ‘Breaking’, force-fed every tastemaker on the internet to hail the songstress as the next hyped One-to-watch, and if new single ‘Talkin’ Crazy’ is anything to go by then 2015 might finally be her year.<\/p>\n

We threw an abundance of questions to Syron, as well as nabbing some exclusive images courtesy of Photographer Christopher McCrory. Enjoy.

It seems like a fair amount of time has passed since you released tracks such as \u2018Here\u2019 and \u2018Breaking\u2019 \u2013 what have you been up too during the brief hiatus?<\/b><\/p>\n

Since then I have done features with, Redlight and Mista Silva, released two songs ‘Three dreams’ and ‘Colour Me In’ on a label called Stranger which I had my own imprint label on called ‘Mania’, I\u2019ve recently signed to a new label Fame Music, as well as that I was in L.A for three months writing and in Sweden and Amsterdam at writing camps too.<\/p>\n

You seem fairly chameleon like \u2013 was it a conscious effort to amend or re-work you aesthetic and image? It seems less \u2018tough\u2019 and slightly more effeminate.<\/b><\/p>\n

For me really I don’t feel that different, I’ll always keep the big gold hoops and super long acrylic nails, but I have been growing my hair, it’s nowhere near as long as I want it yet though. I wanna be like Rapunzel with it down past my waist!<\/p>\n

Tell us more about your recent single \u2018Talkin\u2019 Crazy\u2019.<\/b><\/p>\n

So ‘Talkin Crazy’ was produced by Majestic. He had an outline of the production, and as soon as I heard it I knew I wanted to write to it for me. The song is about being in a relationship and things going wrong but the other person blaming everything on me. The chorus is pretty sarcastic.<\/p>\n

The industry is awash with female talent at the moment \u2013 how do you plan on making an impact and bringing something fresh to the table.<\/b><\/p>\n

There are a lot of great females out there. For me as I keep making music and videos, I want it to be pure pop. I write all my music so I want it all to have emotion and story. I dance too at live shows and would like to do some proper 90’s dance breaks in a video at some point too. I’m just planning on being myself and working hard.<\/p>\n

If you could have written any song by another artist, which would you claim as your own?<\/b><\/p>\n

If I could of written any song ever, Chaka Khan’s ‘I’m Every Woman’ I think. I do an acoustic version of this in my live sets. I also love \u2018Blue\u2019 by Joni Mitchell – the lyrics are so beautiful.<\/p>\n

If you had to collaborate with any other artists \u2013 alive or dead, who would be your ideal partner?<\/b><\/p>\n

There are a lot of people I\u2019d like to collaborate with who are alive – like Diplo and I’d love to write with Sia, I think both those collaborations would work well! I\u2019m a fan of everything Sia writes, and likewise Diplo too. It would have been amazing to do a duet with Aaliyah,.<\/p>\n
