Most people who appear on reality TV singing competitions are quickly forgotten. Others make such a lasting impression that when you see their name many years later it’s still as fresh in your mind as the time they graced the small screen. Sydnee Carter was one of those artists for me. She was just 16 when she appeared on X Factor in 2014. She’s done an awful lot of growing up since then, and it shows in her new single “Plans.”
“I wanted Plans to be the stepping-stone between the songs on my earlier EP and the songwriter that I am today,” she explained. “I’ve had more life experience as a 21-year-old, than before as a 16-year-old and I wanted to convey this in a way that was true to myself and my experiences. The song, in a way, expresses the vulnerability of trust in a relationship, and how easy it easy to forget the gravity of certain situations.”
Listening to this song makes me remember just how much I loved Sydnee’s voice and heart. I can’t wait to hear more of her new music soon!
