Cyn (the stage name of Cynthia Nabozny) was discovered by Katy Perry after hearing her single Only With You. Perry subsequently signed her to UnSub Records in 2016. Since then, Cyn toured with the likes of Years & Years, Sigrid and la Perry herself, while dates with Anna Of The North are in the books.

Terrible Ideas is Cyn’s new single. Powerful, edgy and dark, it marks a decided shift in sound, where the singer-songwriter’s light and airy voice works in harmony with heavier, industrial parts. About this evolution she says: “This song sounds different than anything else I’ve released because I continue to be confident enough to write things that are true to me in the moment, from the lyrics to the production.”

Defying usual song structures and melodies, the dynamics between the soft verses and the percussive, hands-in-the-air choruses make for an element of surprise that is most welcome in modern-day pop music.

Cyn is a talent to watch, and if this single describes the terrible ideas in her book, I can’t wait to hear her good ideas.
