Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Syd Silvair recently returned with new single “Fugitive”, a song described as “an escapist daydream about killing off your identity and stepping into a new reality.”
The track carries itself with traces of 80s inspired synth pop and 70’s funk and disco, with a cinematic neon tint and some really funky and seductive production. It’s a colorful and vibrant dance friendly track, just with a strong emotive stronghold as well.
Speaking on the track, Syd adds:
“I wrote “Fugitive” after a friend who was in school for social work sent me an article from one of her classes about Dissociative Fugue State. It got me daydreaming about what it would be like to completely forget your identity and just re-emerge in a new place as a new person with none of your past weighing you down. I realized that the word Fugue and Fugitive come from the same root (latin ‘fugare’ – to flee), and so this fugitive character started forming in my mind, and the song is written from her perspective.”
