Sy Smith



“Sy Smith has proven throughout her career that an R&B artist can be progressive while remaining firmly 
rooted in tradition. Foremost a singer with a vocal range spanning five octaves, Smith began an 
unending succession of background gigs with Whitney Houston in the late '90s, and has since worked 
closely with Grammy-winning trumpeter Chris Botti and Grammy-nominated group the Foreign 
Exchange, among dozens of other artists. After a brief period signed to a major, Smith established an 
independent label of her own, an outlet for compositionally solid and sonically adventurous albums 
including The Syberspace Social (2005), Conflict (2008), Fast and Curious (2012), and the entirely 
self-produced Sometimes a Rose Will Grow in Concrete (2018). She's consequently known for being a 
leading force in post-millennial indie soul.” - Andy Kellman







Sy raises her own bar and then leaps over it with her latest offering “Until We Meet Again” - her 
critically-acclaimed album produced by Zo! & Tall Black Guy, executive produced by Phonte Coleman
and released on +FE Music in January 2024. This mellifluously soulful LP is drawing comparisons to 
Minnie Riperton and Deniece Williams and is already being called “the album of the year” by a few 
critics. Music journalist Mark Chappelle says “Smith evokes multiple traditions at once. With the sincerity 
of Diana Ross dedicating “Missing You” to Marvin Gaye, Smith lets her voice levitate until it breaks—as 
if just the right frequency could resurrect a loved one.”
