Nashville-Based Singer-Songwriter and Recording Artist Sydney Hansen Displays Both Strength and Vulnerability in Her New Single “For Better.”

Have you ever listened to any artist for the first time and wondered where they’ve been all your life? Do you, in part, blame yourself for not discovering them earlier? If so, then you get this feeling, which is exactly what I got when I first listened to this young, beautiful, and strikingly gifted budding songstress from Nashville who goes by Sydney Hansen. Her traffic-stopping beauty is topped by her charm, genuine charisma, confidence, and stunning vocals that are heavenly and reminiscent of some Country music icons, including her idol, Dolly Parton, whom she met and shared some moments with last year.

Working with legendary producer Kent Wells (Dolly Parton’s Producer), Sydney’s breakthrough single “Somebody’s Nobody” was produced—a single that received widespread critical acclaim; receiving radio play across the globe on 100s of stations and a mountain of enthusiastic reviews from the music press.

She also enlisted the help of the iconic producer Kent Wells for her new single “For Better”, and the result speaks for itself—this is a raw and emotional masterpiece that reaches the core of emotional gratification.

Let’s talk about the acoustic foundation, which serves as the perfect backdrop for Sydney’s impressive old school powerhouse range. She feels like a cross between Dolly Parton and Carrie Underwood, with her emotive delivery and impeccable flows accentuating the weight of the lyrics.

This song carries an understated melancholy, echoing the sentiment of ‘fine I’m not fine.’ The music video, which sees Sydney in a bar setting, underscores the theme of the song perfectly and helps elevate the song’s message to higher and uplifting levels.

“For Better” is the perfect song for those healing from heartbreak…a solace kind of thing to remind them that it was for the better, even if it doesn’t feel like it!

Her rich vocals are magically woven into the Country percussion, and her words are spoken with such raw emotion behind them that you could begin to grasp the gravity of the thoughts and meanings behind each verse.

And for that broad appeal, there is an inescapable Southern rock thrill, both in lyricism and melodicism, that makes for such an unforgettable listening experience for the listener.

For me, “For Better” is an undeniable gem and a testament to Sydney Hansen’s exceptional musical talent. I encourage all music lovers to explore this track and allow themselves to be captivated by the remarkable blend of poignant lyrics, engaging melody, and heartfelt performance. Indeed, this song is a breath of fresh air in today’s music scene, a tribute to the timeless allure of country music, and a promising hint of what’s yet to come from this budding artist.
