2024 is already shaping up to be a great year if we keep getting releases like this. On the 12th of January, the North London-based singer, Sissy Ford, collaborated with Billen Ted and TeeDee on their latest single “I Love You.” With Billen Ted’s incredible talent for delivering massive club tunes and TeeDee, renowned bassline producer, this is sure to be a favourite amongst partygoers.
At just 20 years old, Sissy Ford has raked up an impressive resume of credentials, already having worked with people like Jax Jones, Kenny Beats, Talay Riley, RELYT, Disrupta and Jamal Woon. She started by posting freestyle raps to her YouTube channel, shedding light on topics such as self-love, rejection and rising up through hard work and is now releasing “I Love You” with Billen Ted and TeeDee.
Sissy’s voice provides a deeply unique tone that can easily change from pitched-up vocal flourishes and sublime synth melodies to a deep, thought-provoking rap. This versatility is likely due to her being inspired by a wide range of genres including pop, hip-hop and rap. I highly recommend seeing this for yourself by going to the ‘Spit Game’ YouTube channel and going to ‘Spit Game Sessions – Sissy.’ This YouTube channel strives to promote upcoming artists from North London and Sissy is just one of many incredible people.
Within “I Love You,” Sissy showcases her angelic voice by singing about the guilt that comes with not loving your partner as much as they love you. With Billen Ted and TeeDee’s gift to layer and build beats, the music has the incredible ability to provide the listener with the same thumping anticipation you get in your heart just before a first kiss. However, as the song progresses, the beat never drops to a satisfactory conclusion, mimicking the sentiment of the song.
According to Sissy Ford’s Spotify, this is the first song she has released but I hope she does not stop. I would go so far as to say that this single has started a new age of disco.
