Although Swedish pop artist Sirena (which means mermaid in Spanish) spent most of her childhood split between Stockholm and Barcelona, music has always been part of her life. Creative expression has always been there as well. She wrote poems, photographed, danced and sang in various choirs, but it took a spiritual awakening for Sirena to make the choice to fully focus on her music. The realization that we are free to do what we want with our lives led to her to drop out of high school and devote herself fully to her music.
After musical studies in Barcelona, Sirena returned to Sweden with the objective to invest properly in her music. A chance meeting with fellow Swedish singer/songwriter Noonie Bao at a party with mutual friends in 2012 gave Sirena a new context, a team and above all, a new mentor who shared her views on music and creativity.
"I can not think of anyone better to work with than Noonie Bao. She has been a role model for me. It's great to work with a strong girl who is purposeful, we can support each other, which is very important in an industry that can be quite male-dominated. Above all, I get very inspired by her," Sirena says.
In summer 2013, Sirena released her debut single, "Love Is Not", and since then she has been working hard on her own material, but also made a lot of collaborations. For example, earlier this year, we heard her on the Style Of Eye's single "Louder".
Today, Sirena returns with the release of her ambiguous yet brilliant new single of her own called "Chemicals". Complete with soaring vocals and catchy pop hooks, "Chemicals" is the first single taken from her forthcoming debut EP.
From the single's press release Sirena explains, "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."
"Chemicals" is available now on iTunes (SE) along with the B-side "Find Your Way".
