Conflict is the third studio album by American R&B/soul singer, Sy Smith. The album was officially released on April 1, 2008, in the United States.
During Smith's 2007 tour, Sy Smith recorded new material for her third studio album. With the release of a buzz single "Reach Down In Your Soul" and a music video to follow its release, the album was announced. The song "Would All The People From Compton Please Leave?" was a cover version of soul singer Minnie Riperton's "Baby, This Love I Have". According to Sy Smith, the song "Spies" is about:
Wanting to be a fly on the wall, spy on people when they're talking crap about me, cause I know they do
In mid-2007, Smith released a buzz single "Ain't Nobody's Bizness". In late 2007, Smith released another buzz single "Reach Down In Your Soul", which featured Wes Felton.

The song "Fly Away With Me" charted at #38 on the Top 40 Hot Adult R&B Chart. The music video aired on BET's "Centric Hits" and "Soul Sessions". In September 2008, Smith and her band Deeznuts performed at Temple Bar's Farewell Show. Smith performed a seven track set-list.
