    An intoxicating musical mixture of funky bass rhythms, soulful guitar licks, twinkling piano and Syd's supple, sultry vocals ensures that "Broken Hearts Club" consistently delivers moment-to-moment with regard to the sadness and sensuality promised by the record's title, though it's sadly held back from reaching the heights it otherwise could've by synth lines and vocal delivery that fallAn intoxicating musical mixture of funky bass rhythms, soulful guitar licks, twinkling piano and Syd's supple, sultry vocals ensures that "Broken Hearts Club" consistently delivers moment-to-moment with regard to the sadness and sensuality promised by the record's title, though it's sadly held back from reaching the heights it otherwise could've by synth lines and vocal delivery that fall flat or grow numbing with repetition in more than a few spots.

    A song cycle following the blossoming and sudden death of a relationship, the conceit frontloads Broken Heart Club with joyous dizzy pop in “Tie The Knot” and the aptly titled but most definitely not saccharine “Sweet”. When heartbreak comes she’s brilliantly poised, pleading on “Heartfelt Freestyle” then flipping a finger to regret on “Missing Out”. [Jun 2022, p.62]

    Broken Hearts Club doesn’t stray far from that warm atmosphere, but Syd still makes time for the occasional detour.

    ‘Broken Hearts Club’ - performed, co-written and co-produced by Syd – feels like definitive moment as the R&B mainstay truly settles into her solo endeavour.
