SYML Shares New Single “Clean Eyes”; On Tour Now

Seattle artist and producer SYML is excited to share his latest single, “Clean Eyes.” When asked about the track, Brian Fennell (SYML) said, “I wrote ‘Clean Eyes’ as an outlet to express my least favorite thing about myself, that I’m a cynic. I think that is one of the most ugly traits a person can have. Somehow, I found someone who loves me through my cynicism, and shows me the world through her beautiful and honest lens.” He added, “I’ve been writing and producing a lot of material this year as I work towards an album. This is really the first song we approached with more of a ‘band’ mentality. It was a fun challenge because of the contrast between the intimate lyrics and anthemic choruses.” The song follows his August releases of new music, an early version of “Girl,” and a darker, beat driven song “WDWGILY.” “Clean Eyes” is a sticky, anthemic track that showcases Fennell’s ability to write and produce an indie pop song while staying true to his emotive lyric style and heart wrenching vocal range.
