Syd, a contemporary R&B musician, named her latest album Beard<\/em>, inspired by the peach fuzz growing above her upper lip.<\/p>\n

“I was letting my facial hair grow just to see what I would look like with it, because I was starting to like my mustache, which, you know, is unconventional as a woman,” Syd told Morning Edition<\/em>‘s A Mart\u00ednez.<\/p>\n

Although Syd is 34 years old, married and has released two previous solo studio albums, she considers Beard,<\/em> her third solo album, a coming-of-age project.<\/p>\n

“I feel like I’m blooming,” she said. “I’ve always been a late bloomer.”<\/p>\n
