Georgia-born and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sydney Rose shares an emotionally charged new single entitled “I Stopped Trying” featuring Delaney Bailey out now via Mercury Records / Island Records UK, marking their first collaboration together; listen HERE. On the track, Sydney‘s breathy hum glides through the haze of softly strummed chords. “I Stopped Trying” follows the recent favourite “Before & After You” – inspired by the HBO hit series The Last Of Us, it reeled in over 1.3 million Spotify streams and earned praise.
Throughout 2025, Sydney will continue to perform across Europe and the US on her newly announced headline I Know What I Want Tour.
