Sydney Jo Jackson’s latest single, “You Should Be Here” is a reminder and lesson that we all can learn from. As she addresses her flaws and takes responsibility for her own actions, the Birmingham-born, London-based singer/songwriter is determined to put an end to unhealthy cycles.
Inspired by artists such as Millie Jackson, Tina Turner, and Price, “You Should Be Here” is a nod to the old-school soul, blues, and funk, channeling the elegance, charm, and lyrical wisdom and pairing it with a fresh, modern approach. Sydney’s powerful, soul-soaked vocals are truly hypnotic, accompanied by alluring guitars, velvety instrumentation, and a slow-paced beat that exudes an intimate energy.
Sydney is a true beacon of inspiration. She’s endured domestic abuse, a failed high-profile relationship, and a painful divorce—and yet, she has emerged stronger on the other side. “I can’t afford therapy,” she says, “so I write songs. My music is where I say everything I think out loud—it’s unfiltered and raw in every way.” Determined to not let her experiences define her, Sydney’s music is for anyone who’s ever experienced hardship and found the strength to rise again.
