RISING SINGER AND SONGWRITER SYDNEY ROSE NEW SONG & TOUR
July 2 - December 7
Accelerating a rise as an artist to watch in 2025, Georgia-born and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sydney Rose unveils a brand new single entitled “Before & After You” out now via Mercury Records. Listen HERE.
Strains of soft piano set the tone for “Before & After You.” Guitar echoes faintly in the distance as gentle synths hum. Against this sparse backdrop, Sydney taps into unfiltered feeling. Drawing inspiration from the father-daughter dynamic of Joel and Ellie on the HBO series The Last of Us (now in its second season), she paints a nuanced familial portrait steeped in raw and relatable emotion. At one point, she exhales, “But I’m just a liar, and that never happened. It’s all my fault, and it’s too late now.” The song culminates on a disarmingly catchy refrain, “There’s a before and there’s an after you.”
Canvasing the globe, Sydney kicks off two sold-out nights at Omeara in London tonightand tomorrow (July 3). Finally, she caps off the week by joining a massive lineup at BST Hyde Park on July 4, including Noah Kahan, Gracie Abrams, FINNEAS, Gigi Perez, and many more.
Throughout 2025, she will continue to perform across Europe and the United States on her newly announced headline I Know What I Want Tour. Following October gigs in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, and France, the North American leg commences with a show at Bowery Ballroom in New York, NY on November 17, which sold out within days. She will also visit major markets coast-to-coast, concluding at Barboza in Seattle, WA on December 12.

Simultaneously, the singer and songwriter has garnered enthusiastic critical acclaim. Billboard noted, “The post-relationship song starts as a gentle, echoing ballad, à la Rose’s musical hero Phoebe Bridges – but it’s the climax, after a switch to a more cathartic mid-tempo singalong, that has taken off on TikTok, with countless users connecting with the lyrics.”

A year later, she unveiled her debut LP, One Sided, highlighted by “You’d Be Stars” [feat. Chloe Moriondo]. She received co-signs courtesy of everyone from Olivia Rodrigo and Addison Grace who invited her on tour. In the Fall of 2024, Sydney found herself unexpectedly released by her label. Now settled in Nashville, she reflected inwardly and returned all her focus to honing her music. She independently dropped the fan favorite voice notes EP. While sitting at the piano one day, she crafted “We Hug Now.” It exploded on TikTok and inspired over 1 million “creates,” yielding 6.5 billion total views and reaching the Top 15 of the TikTok Top Songs Chart. “We Hug Now”catapulted to the Top 3 of the Spotify US and Global Viral 50 Charts. Amassing 160 million streams and counting, she entered and quickly hit Top 20 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists Chart and hit Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Alternative Songs Charts. Now, Sydney continues to captivate with her I Know What I Want EP, which marks her first release under her new label home, Mercury Records.
