SYML is the solo venture of artist Brian Fennell. With over one billion lifetime streams, SYML—Welsh for “simple”—makes music that taps into the instincts that drive us to places of sanctuary, whether that be a place or a person. Born and raised in Seattle, Fennell studied piano and became a self-taught producer, programmer, and guitarist. Says Fennell, "The melody in Sentimental feels like it was in an old luxury shoebox in my grandma’s closet. A bit dusty, but still beautiful and classic as ever. Just the sight of the box brings back memories of dancing and too much champagne on late summer evenings. It’s a longing to move like you used to when you were young. It’s a waltz with a hitch in its step. When the orchestra hits, the lush daydream becomes real! But sadly, we can’t live there for long, and the shoebox goes back on the shelf. Worth it every time".
