With over one billion lifetime streams, SYML (AKA Brian Fennell) —Welsh for “simple”—makes music that taps into the instincts that drive us to places of sanctuary, whether that be a place or a person. Born and raised in Seattle, Fennell studied piano and became a self-taught producer, programmer, and guitarist. He released his self-titled debut album in 2019, which included the platinum-selling song “Where’s My Love,” and the Gold Record fan favorite, “Girl”.

SYML is joined on this track by Elsa y Elmar, one of the most important Latin alternative pop artists of her generation. The Colombian singer has captivated audiences worldwide with her unique musical style and heartfelt lyrics. After numerous nominations for the Latin Grammy Awards in recent years including Best New Artist and Album of The Year, Elsa y Elmar continues to push artistic boundaries and inspire a new generation of musicians. Her ability to blend elements of folk, pop, and rock, along with her genuine and heartfelt approach, has earned her a devoted wide fan base around the world.

Says Fennell about My Best Self, “Whether it’s through fashion, our careers, or adopting vices, finding out who we are takes a lifetime. We should all be lucky enough to have someone who models how to love, especially ourselves, while we take this journey. I am grateful to have found Elsa, who was graciously willing to join me on this song. Her voice is as gentle as it is commanding, and her work feels classically familiar.”
