Source: Taylor Hill / Getty Syd. Is. Back. The genre-blurring singer, songwriter, and producer just released her first solo track in three years, 'Die For This,' a delicate preview of her upcoming EP.

Best known as the lead singer of The Internet and original member of the underrated rap group Odd Future, Syd delivers her signature softness on this new track. 'Die For This' finds her pledging devotion in the kind of stripped-down, late-night R&B that has become her calling.

That same year, she reflected on her growth as a vocalist and songwriter, saying: 'I've always thought I have a cool voice, a pretty voice. But singing was the last thing I started doing… I'm just now starting to feel like, 'Okay, yeah, I do this.'' Since her last album, Syd has remained in creative motion. She co-wrote Beyoncé's Renaissance cut 'Plastic Off the Sofa,' earning a Grammy win for Best Traditional R&B Performance. This summer, Syd will support Billie Eilish on her U.K. tour, then join Reneé Rapp for a run of U.S. dates in the fall. Listen to 'Die For This' here!
