Jaden Christopher Syre Smith (born July 8, 1998), known mononymously as Jaden, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor. He is the son of Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith. Jaden Smith's first movie role was with his father in the 2006 film The Pursuit of Happyness. He also acted in the 2008 remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still and the 2010 remake of The Karate Kid, and was in the 2013 film After Earth with his father.

Following the critical panning of After Earth, Smith distanced himself from acting and the film industry, deciding to focus on music instead.^{[citation needed]} He released CTV2, his second mixtape, in November 2014.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE ALBUM "SYRE"
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syre_(album)

"Syre (stylized as SYRE and SYRE: A Beautiful Confusion[2][3][4][5]) is the debut studio album by American rapper Jaden. It was released on November 17, 2017, through MSFTSMusic and Roc Nation under the partnership between Interscope Records and Republic Records. The album debuted at number 24 on the U.S. Billboard 200 for the chart dated December 9, 2017.[6] It features appearances from ASAP Rocky and Raury, along with additional vocals from Kevin Abstract, Pia Mia, and Jaden’s sister Willow Smith.

 Background

The album was teased after the release of Jaden's music video for "Fallen" back in December 2016.[7] The album title is a reference to his full name Jaden Christopher Syre Smith.[8] In an interview with Complex about the album title, Jaden said that:

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.[1]

Composition

Talking to Vanity Fair, Smith said that Syre was inspired by Kanye West's The Life of Pablo and Frank Ocean's Blonde.[3] Syre has been compared to a musical with multiple characters with the main character Syre being played by Jaden Smith as Syre experiences sadness, anger and regret following the breakdown of a relationship[20] with references to Adam and Eve[21] and the myth of Icarus.[22] The album, which is over an hour long,[23] chronicles the coming of age of the character, Syre. Speaking on the character, Smith said “It's really just become a legacy of this guy, this kid, who chases the sunset – and then one day, it chases him back and he can't get away – it really is the story of me coming to be a young adult, and it wasn't easy at all."[24] The story also has mentions of Smith's personal life with a song dedicated to his ex-girlfriend, Sarah Snyder[20] and his failure to dissociate with his father's fame.[25]

The album is "full of soaring harmonies and dark, moody production"[26] and combines "folk, metal, ‘70s rock, Christian pop and Detroit techno" with NME comparing it to putting a Spotify playlist on shuffle.[21]"...

"Yes, the girl broke his heart (which is symbolized by the gunshot wound he has) and he’s stuck in a state of heartbreak (symbolized by the sunset). You can tell that he’s trapped in a limbo bc he keeps falling down and looking confused when he wakes up in the same sunset every time. The one clip where he says “Again?” and looks frustrated after seeing the view kinda confirms that he’s trapped in his feeling of heartbreak."
