Monsters In the Closet, the lead single and video from Syleena’s forthcoming album, Legacy, addresses a chilling performance of the mental struggles Syleena has faced in her over twenty-year tenure as a recording artist. The single tackles the topic of fear and anxiety head on and will give listeners an exclusive experience into Syleena’s mind as she shares the toxicity of the aftereffects of music industry drama & trauma and it almost breaking and killing her. Syleena’s message of “Guess I just need more therapy” is repeatedly expressed throughout the song and offers support to those seeking help with struggling with trauma and anxiety.
