Swedish "Spiritual pop" songstress Sirena is streaming her new single "Chemicals" ahead of its release tomorrow (8 October).
Based in Stockholm but educated in Barcelona, Sirena, Spanish for 'mermaid', draws influence from water in the sense that it represents mystery and the unknown. For her new track, taken from her upcoming EP, the singer-songwriter goes for massive synthpop, laying some way between Sia and Tove Lo.
Explaining the track, she says:
"Chemicals can be many things, there is room for interpretation. Maybe it is about to be full or high, but the chemicals are also society. Sometimes the husband cheated and happy, and it’s a little sad feeling, because there are behind longing, longing for something more, so we try to reach it via chemicals."
