    Sunny War - Simple Syrup has a vibrant, loose feel, more focused on the interplay with the musicians than before. Sunny’s new songs touch on everything from romance to politics, jumping easily between larger concepts like the expectations for famous Black women in American art (“Like Nina”) and smaller ideas like “Kiss A Loser”, her ode to her own drunken self in relationships. One of the more powerful songs on the album, “Deployed and Destroyed” is about a friend that Sunny knew from the streets. A veteran of the Iraq Wars, she watched him fall apart from PTSD, another vet who was unable to get the care he needed and is now homeless and suffering from severe mental trauma. Watching so many friends fall apart under the pressures of COVID–losing jobs, being left behind–motivated Sunny to do more, to make change. Surrounded by relentless pressures from societal change, Sunny worked more closely with her community and embarked on a nearly year-long recording spree that brought two EPs (one of which, Can I Sit With You?, made a number of Best of 2020 lists) and now Simple Syrup coming in March 2021. The pandemic has been a crucible for Sunny, burning away the parts of the old world that didn’t truly matter and leaving her with a new purpose.

lyrics

Can’t get this melody outta my head
They say come now sweet lady
Bring your big baby
Broken guitar
Soft spoken bizarre
Because she whines and she cries
She steals she lies
She driving me crazy
She’s mine but she hates me
Can’t get this melody outta my head
Can’t get this melody outta my head
We play it all wrong
Every single song
With strings old and dirty
Big baby’s almost thirty
Yeah she talks til I sweat
No rules or regrets
What’s left of her frets
Hasn’t given up yet
Can’t get this melody outta my head
I want this melody outta my head babe
I need this melody outta my head
Outta my head outta my head

Sunny War Los Angeles, California

Yes, she may be a Robert Johnson with a shot of Bad Brains, but even this description falls short. The only way to really know Sunny is to immerse oneself in the music. Easy enough, right? ... more
