Meet Sirena and her brand new single, “Lunar Lights.”
Thanks to the recent successes of Mapei, Seinabo Sey and Elliphant, modern Sweden seems to be perfect breeding ground for high quality pop and talented singers. Another artist making such an upward crawl is Sirena, a 22-year-old Stockholm-Barcelona based singer and songwriter. Writing poetry and singing in choirs at a young age, Sirena had a youthful spiritual awakening which pushed her to devote herself completely to beautiful vibrations.
After musical studies in Barcelona, meeting Noonie Bao at a party in 2012 gave Sirena a new context, a team, and especially a new mentor who shared her views on music and creativity. Sirena’s debut single “Love Is Not” was released in the summer of 2013. Since then she has gradually developed her own idiosyncratic style: epic, electronically-tinged Scandipop that lays somewhere between Tove Lo and Seinabo Sey. In 2014, her critically acclaimed song “Chemicals” gained Sirena enthusiastic support from The Line Of Best Fit, Ja Ja Ja Music and Indie Shuffle. Later that year she appeared as a vocalist and songwriter on Style Of Eyes’ single “Louder” and with Alesso on “Sweet Escape,” which premiered at Ultra in Miami.
On “Lunar Lights,” Sirena worked with producer Kretsen. The opening synths advance and recede like ebbing Baltic waves along the enthralling melodic shore of Sirena’s icy vocals. Sirena is one example of a progressive and experimental pop act which remains life affirming and breathlessly exciting. In a contemporary pop age of increasingly tired similarity, Sirena is fresh and polar cool.
