“…Seeing Sydney Quiseng (née Sierota) onstage was a bit of a time warp. I first saw her as the lead singer of Echosmith, riding the wave of indie pop hits when they were in their teens. Back then, her music was sunny and sleek, built for radio singalongs. Now, she’s taken a sharp turn into Americana and country-leaning songwriting, and while it took me a minute to adjust, I quickly found myself drawn in.
Her set included a stripped-down version of Leftover Coffee from her new Phases EP, which I’ve been exploring lately. Hearing it live, bare-bones, before going back to the studio version was a fascinating contrast: the recorded version has a more upbeat, produced feel, while the live version leaned into the intimacy and conversational tone of the lyrics.
Sydney’s shift in style feels like a true evolution rather than a rebrand. She’s still the same magnetic performer, but now the focus is on storytelling and subtle emotional shifts rather than big hooks. For fans of her Echosmith work, it might take a moment to recalibrate, but it’s worth the adjustment…”
