Sylvie Jay's musical journey grew after being introduced to young and talented music producer and sound engineer Maurice Soque, based in Los Angeles. Together, the dynamic duo brought Jay's music to life, creating an environment where she felt comfortable exploring her creativity, bringing authenticity and energy to her music.

Her debut album, "Your Loss,” released in April of 2023, is undoubtedly a masterpiece that displays her artistry and raw talent. It smoothly takes the listener through the emotional journey of the five stages of grief from start to finish. Sylvie Jay appositely crafted and tailored her music to a universal experience – breakups. It is a deeply personal album that instantly resonates with many people. Listeners can't help but feel seen and understood when hearing her music. It is a testament to her ability as a songwriter; her music and lyrics are authentic and vulnerable while remaining light-hearted and enjoyable.

A lovely little game of Dungeons and Dragons, yet Sylvie Jay uses this setting to tell a more extraordinary story on “Hardly Knew Her.” The song’s noir-like charm works to the video’s advantage, as the tension set forth sonically gets reflected in small yet significant ways around the table. From this domestic setting, the imagery gradually shifts to the dramatic. Multiple storylines exist within the footage, from building anxiety amongst the participants to each of them acting out their impulses in a much more physical fashion.

The familiar setting is simply that friendly, as they all appear to be friends. Underneath though, she lets the subtext of the situation begin to speak. With the rolling of the dice, they go for this sense of genuinely unhinged, as the fantasy element is at least the most honest one, as at least the betrayal happens much more suddenly than it would within real life. The hurt takes longer and is more torturous in many ways outside of fantasy. She even mentions the idea of gaslighting, the way he told her lies, trying to manipulate her thoughts into something completely different. With the rest of the party looking on, she takes the final blows, and they land right in the heart, a bit of madness because cheating ultimately brings on madness for all involved.

“Hardly Knew Her” has Sylvie Jay presenting the basis of cheating and how it can destroy others in grandiose, cinematic splendor.
