In The Spotlight

Sydney Jo Jackson – “You Should Be Here”

Born in Birmingham and based in London, this genre-hopping singer, songwriter and model studied at the famed Italia Conti Performing Arts Institute. Initially taking a different musical route, she collaborated with hip-hop and house artists, like Redondo (on “Automatic” in 2023) and Husky (on “Get Down” in 2024). She also released a solo house track “Boys Who Like Boys” in 2024. Inspired by Millie Jackson, Tina Turner and Prince, she’s reinvented herself and blends soul and blues.

Debuting her new soulful incarnation, her new single explores deep topics like confronting personal flaws and breaking unhealthy cycles. With the lyrics rooted in her own experience with domestic abuse and divorce, she turned her music into her therapy. Enveloped in a sultry soundscape, the smooth, enchanting melody wouldn’t sound out of place in a smoky basement bar. With an hypnotic rhythm, smoldering brass and beguiling vocals, this honest tune cuts straight to the heart.
