Syd will release her new album Beard on July 17, 2026 via Free Lunch/Warner Records. The LP, co-produced by Syd, and featuring friends and collaborators Raphael Saadiq, Big Sean, Rodney Jerkins, James Fauntleroy, Van Hunt, Blu June, and Jordan Ward.

Says Syd about the record – “Beard is a coming of age album for me. It’s a snapshot of what my life looks like right now. The title was inspired by the peach fuzz on my upper lip that society has always taught me to hate. I fell in love with my peach fuzz and it made me rethink everything that was supposed to make me feel insecure. It allowed me to take my confidence into my own hands, and own everything that I am and everything I love about myself, regardless of what anyone else thinks. The title also represents the way I see myself in relation to my peers, especially in music. ‘The bearded lady.’ Not so much a spectacle in my case, but an anomaly and an outlier. Hard to compare. I’m owning that too. Taking things that were once insecurities and flipping them on their head has been extremely empowering.”

Ahead of Beard‘s release, Syd has shared “Callin” (feat. Blu June). Syd will tour behind the release Beard, with dates in London, Paris, Amsterdam and more. Last year Syd toured Billie Eilish and joined Renee Rapp for fall North American dates.
