"This album is not that deep." That's how Sydney Bennett described Fin, her first-ever solo album, when she was talking to The FADER not too long ago. She went on: "For me, this is like an in-between thing -- maybe get a song on the radio, maybe make some money, have some new shit to perform." So Fin, if we are understanding Syd correctly, is both a side project and, to some extent, a sellout move. Syd is a member of the Internet, the squelchy and hazy neo-soul group, and she sees that as her true calling. Fair enough: The Internet's dazed fantasias are unique within today's musical landscape, and there's a real push-pull chemistry at work between Syd and her bandmates. Fin, by contrast, is something resembling a conventional R&B album, a spacious and stuttering post-Aaliyah synthscape. But something happens when Syd enters that space. All of a sudden, she becomes a star.
