Syd Taylor - After the Fact (2025) Hi-Res

The new record represents a life changing experience for Taylor as she further explores her identity, claims her voice and practices honesty within the spiraling feeling of isolation as she launches her solo career after 10 years in Stereo Jane with twin sister Emilia Paige. Previous singles – “After the Fact”, “Heaven”, “Honeycomb”, “My Man” and “Love of Your Life.”

I set out on a journey of self-discovery and self-understanding, and I can confidently say that in writing this album, that’s exactly what I did. After the Fact is a body of work that fully captures who I am as a person and as a creative. It’s the first time I’ve been able to sit down and make something truly for me. No one telling me what genre to lean into, what producer to hand my demos to, or even how to present myself. I know I’m not perfect, so why pretend to be some perfectly polished pop version of myself? I wanted to get as far away from that as possible. And in doing that, I made something that feels perfectly me — which is imperfect.

To coincide with the album release, Taylor also shares a video for the catchy, guitar-heavy “Time to Go!” directed by Matthew Takes.
