JUNO Award-winning Toronto R&B singer-songwriter Dylan Sinclair is back with his latest single “I LO<3 MY EX available to stream now on all digital platforms via Five Stone Records/The Orchard.
Co-produced by frequent collaborators Jordon Manswell (Daniel Caesar, Mariah Carey, 21 Savage), Zachary Simmonds (Daniel Caesar), and Alex Ernewein (Charlotte Day Wilson, Churchill Downs), the evocative alt-R&B track is defined by its sultry vocals reminiscent of early 2000s R&B.
Speaking on the inspiration behind his new track, Dylan Sinclair shares, "The early days after a breakup are not easy; it's hard fighting the urge to call or text, and you can't help but think of how they're dealing with the new world without you.”
Having already racked up more than 100 million cumulative streams to date and earned spots on Spotify and Apple Music's respective R&B Artists to Watch lists, Dylan’s musical journey takes an exciting new turn with his latest 2024 singles "I LO<3 MY EX” and “LEMON TREES.” The distinct sonic shift represents a fresh perspective, sound, and tempo not previously heard from the 2023 JUNO Award winner offering a glimpse into the evolving musical world Sinclair has crafted since his breakthrough EP No Longer in the Suburbs.
