Psiryn is a rising R&B trio redefining what it means to belong to a girl group in today’s sonic landscape. Composed of Anaya Chayenne, Jada Denise, and Victoria McQueen, the group is signed to Kandi Koated Entertainment and draws inspiration from the golden era of 2000s R&B girl groups. It’s not imitation, nor is it derivative; it’s a compelling continuation set against the backdrop of today’s musical landscape, paying homage while also exploring new territory.
“In The Key of Us” is their debut EP, featuring six tracks that dive into love, self-discovery, and emotional honesty. Each song feels like a conversation: raw, genuine, and occasionally a bit messy.
One of the standout tracks, “Sober,” is a poignant, slow-burning ballad that has become a breakout success. It recently topped Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart, making Psiryn the first girl group in over two decades to reach that milestone. Then there’s “The Softest,” a clever reimagining of Xscape’s classic “The Softest Place on Earth,” which adds a modern flair while remaining true to its roots.
The EP’s vibe is like flipping through a scrapbook of experiences and nostalgic memories. Each track tells a story, revealing the beauty and complexity of navigating relationships and personal growth. It offers the possibility of getting effortlessly lost in a classic sound, reminiscent of the good old days.
Other highlights from the EP include “Next,” a magnetic, richly textured track that sets the tone for the collection, and “Cry For Me,” a slow, vocal-driven ballad that reveals the group’s vulnerability and emotional depth.
In their own words, Psiryn describes their work as a resource for anyone trying to love without losing their sense of self. Their music seeks to strike a delicate balance between softness and strength, reflecting not only who they are as individuals but also the unity and synergy they share as a group. With “In The Key of Us,” they’re sharing their world: one where love, growth, and authenticity take center stage.
