Dylan Sinclair Releasing Debut Album 'For the Boy in Me' in September

Toronto R&B artist, songwriter, and producer Dylan Sinclair has announced the release of his eagerly awaited debut album, FOR THE BOY IN ME, set to drop on September 27th. Executive produced by Five Stone Records co-founders Jordon Manswell and Sinclair himself, the record reflects on the 23-year-old’s upbringing, drawing inspiration from his Guyanese and Filipino roots, as well as the classic sounds of 90s and early 2000s Pop, R&B, and Gospel music – all infused with the signature vibes of his hometown Toronto. 

To mark the album announcement, the 2023 JUNO Award winner shares a new offering from the album, the captivating alt-R&B track “FOREVER,” available to stream now. Speaking on the inspiration behind the latest single off his upcoming debut album, Dylan Sinclair shares, “‘FOREVER’ is about defying all odds, standing strong together despite external pressures, and cherishing an unbreakable bond; a celebration of a love that is defiant, loyal, and everlasting.”

Developed over several years through writing sessions in Toronto, The Muskokas, Los Angeles, and New York, FOR THE BOY IN ME encapsulates the last few years of Dylan’s life. The 12-song record explores the joys of having a truly supportive partner, the challenges of sustaining a loving relationship, and the personal growth that comes from each relationship. Bolstered by the singles “I LO<3 MY EX” and “LEMON TREES”, the album's production is anchored by Sinclair’s collaboration with his trusted team, led by GRAMMY and JUNO-Award nominated Jordon Manswell (Daniel Caesar, Mariah Carey, 21 Savage, DVSN), Zachary Simmonds (Daniel Caesar), Bryan Allen (Hillari, Baby Tate, Dom Dolla), and Alex “ACE G” Ernewein (Drake, Jack Harlow, Daniel Caesar).
