SEATTLE (March 11, 2026) — Tommy WordSmith and The Sync City Singers, an independent music act based in Seattle, have released a new album titled Steel Tears, blending elements of rap, hip-hop, and country storytelling.
The album is available for streaming on SoundCloud, and some on YouTube. The project highlights WordSmith’s focus on narrative songwriting and themes drawn from personal experience.
Early listener engagement has grown on SoundCloud, where the album averages 400-900 daily listens and has been added to 41 playlists over the past 25 days. Listeners have cited the album’s narrative style and reflective lyrics as reasons for returning to the music.
