SIENNA SPIRO, dubbed by Variety as the “world’s next pop vocal superhero,” has officially released her highly anticipated debut album, Visitor.
The album from the show-stopping London-born phenomenon is a high-concept and wholly elegant collision of rich soul and symphonic pop that explores the inherent fragility of life and love.
SIENNA’s timeless vocals and songwriting are a testament to the outpouring success of her three singles leading up to the album release, all hitting the Billboard Top 100. The album’s release also brings a fourth single: “Great Expectation,” a moody soul-pop cut with a soaring chorus and orchestral flourishes, which arrives alongside a music video co-directed by SIENNA and Miriam Maslin.
The album was executive produced by Omer Fedi (Sam Smith, SZA), with additional production from Blake Slatkin, Yakob, and Michael Pollack, plus orchestral work from Larry Gold and Academy Award winner Peter Rotter. SIENNA and her collaborators tracked the record across some of music’s most storied rooms, Electric Lady in New York, Abbey Road in London, and Valentine Recording Studios in Los Angeles, and the result is a sound that’s grand without ever losing its intimacy.
SIENNA shares, “I’ve always had a strong awareness of impermanence; I’m very fearful of things ending and people leaving. It’s so intense that I often won’t participate in new relationships or anything I know won’t last, so in a way I’ve spent most of my life feeling like a visitor — like someone who’s just passing through. Making this album really taught me how to savor things in the moment, instead of constantly worrying about the future. When people hear the record, I hope it helps them to find some comfort in the fact that everything is temporary. We don’t always have to rush to let go—we can let things matter without needing them to last.”
Amidst the celebration of SIENNA’s debut album, she returns to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on July 13, makes her debut on Austin City Limits on July 15, and heads into a run of festival dates including Lollapalooza, Newport Jazz, Outside Lands, and All Things Go before heading off on her world tour, “My House” this fall.
We hope to not be visitors in Sienna’s orbit as her career takes off.
Visitor is available now on all streaming platforms.
