Trivia

 * During an interview with Complex Magazine, Jaden described his reasoning for titling the album as SYRE "SYRE really just came to me one day. I didn’t know what I was going to call the album, but one day it really really came. I don’t know what happened. It was like a switch—from one second to another, my whole life switched. I realized that Syre was the answer, what I had to move forward with. People love to just talk about me by name and say, “Oh, Jaden Smith this, Jaden Smith that.” It’s time for a new awakening and a new consciousness. Anybody who thinks they know me, this album is something completely different from what they think. So I’m excited."
 * In an interview with  Billboard, Smith explains that he's currently directing a  SYRE  film that will further flesh the story out. Explaining that the film won't be a visual album like Beyoncé's  Lemonade  film, he says, "It's an actual film that plays out that has characters. There's no rapping, really, in the whole movie. It's just about the story of Syre."
