After a year that saw her wear the name of a Dancing Astronaut Artist to Watch in 2022—and release one of Dancing Astronaut‘s most-anticipated IDs of 2022, “Silo”—fknsyd has taken a massive step towards a thriving solo career that steps beyond the scope of her vocal features. That comes in the form of Taste.test, a dynamic mixtape that showcases her diverse range of musical styles and killer falsetto.
A dynamic and alluring album that showcases her exquisite vocals and diverse range of musical styles, the nine songs on the LP share a common message and thematic direction. The album as a whole radiates. Opening with “New Evils,” she sets the tone with a dramatic soundscape and mysterious aura, followed by “First Thing in the Morning” that offers a sedating effect with its indie-pop-meets-R&B vocals. “I Wanna Be Your Girl” has a more commercial touch while “Fantasy” and “Molasses” showcase a darker, trippier side of fknsyd’s style. “Visual” and “Sedation” provide a simpler yet effective blend of keys, percussion, and vocals, culminating in a cinematic finale with “Sedation.” Stream fknsyd’s first-ever project below.
