    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

Boy I can’t wait til they pass you the peace pipe
You need to calm down check yourself
Get your head right
Get a therapist go to church if you need to
I do not exist to uplift or appease you
I think it’s real sad your daddy taught you not to cry
But if you think you’ll treat me bad and I’mma stay then you a lie
I’ll spit ya back up again
Like ya did mammas milk
musta thought I’d feed ya
I’ll spit ya back up again
For the win for the kill boy
I don’t need ya
I’ll spit ya back up again
And drink til the bad taste fades away
Forget your name by the end of the day
Take a vacay from the ways that you’re used to
It’s a new day
Find a way to a new you
I’m really not sure what you thought I signed up for
Skip the encore I’ve had enough
I don’t need more
I think it’s real sad your daddy taught you not to cry
But if you think you’ll treat me bad and I’mma stay then you a lie
I’ll spit ya back up again
Like ya did mammas milk
musta thought I’d feed ya
I’ll spit ya back up again
For the win for the kill boy
I don’t need ya
I’ll spit ya back up again
And drink til the bad taste fades away
Forget your name by the end of the day
I’ll spit ya back up again
Like ya did mammas milk
musta thought I’d feed ya
I’ll spit ya back up again
For the win for the kill boy
I don’t need ya
I’ll spit ya back up again
And drink til the bad taste fades away
Forget your name by the end of the day

about

Sunny War image

Sunny War Los Angeles, California

Sunny War is more than just an artist; she is a force of nature that is tough to pin down. What exactly is her style? Blues or punk? 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
