Sissy Ford’s 'Crush' Is All Fun and Flirty Until You Realise She’s Actually Clocked You

So I was online, not really looking for anything. Just one of those rabbit hole moments. And I remembered Sissy had sent me some music a little while ago. The kind that actually makes you pause and go, “wait, who is this?” So I went to see what she’s been up to... and saw 'Crush.' Clicked play immediately. Didn’t even blink.

At first listen, you’re vibing. It’s got that light bounce, that "walk into summer like you just got your nails done" energy. A little cheeky. A little cute. It sounds like flirting in the group chat and telling your friends you're not taking him seriously but also checking his Instagram story like clockwork.

But listen again. There’s something in the lyrics that feels like it’s smiling through its teeth. Not fake-smiling. Just… aware. Like, “Yeah, this is cute. But don’t get it twisted.” It’s giving I saw your subtle shade and raised you with a hook that people are going to sing at festivals.

And that’s the thing. I don’t even know if that’s exactly what she meant. Music is funny like that. What feels like a soft heartbreak to one person might be someone else’s “met a boy in Tesco, it didn’t work out, but I got a banger out of it” moment. I’ve said it before - a track might be a love song, or it might be about their grandma. You just never really know. But 'Crush' has that universal ugh, men undertone, while still making you want to dance. I respect that balance.

Another thing I rate about Sissy? She actually shows up. If you’ve seen her YouTube, you’ll know she does these day-in-the-life vlogs. No frills. No front. Just her, being her. And I get it, not every artist wants to do that. It takes energy, and let’s be honest, sometimes you just don’t want to be perceived. But she makes it feel easy. Like you're FaceTiming a mate who just happens to have bangers on Spotify.

She’s not out here curating this perfect aesthetic 24/7. One minute she’s doing her makeup, next minute she’s trying to figure out what to wear, or just vibing in her room. And somehow, that’s what makes it so engaging. You get the music and the human behind it. And I think that’s why people are riding for her so hard. It’s not just the songs (although yes, the songs are hitting). It’s the way she makes people feel like they actually know her. No performance. No façade. Just Sissy.

So yeah. 'Crush' is out now. If this is your first time hearing her, welcome. If you’ve been here, you already know the vibes. Either way, I wouldn’t sleep. There’s more coming. I can feel it.
