Los Angeles-based visual artist, singer, and songwriter, Siren blends art rock with alternative, and indie influences into her music. She produces and records her songs independently and also creates the visuals that go with her projects. Some of her diverse musical influences include Rammstein, Lana Del Rey, The Doors, Tchaikovsky, Ludovico Einaudi, Hans Zimmer, and the alternative rock of the 2000s.

Her latest single “Siren Heroine” is what I would describe as a cinematic alt-pop song with a slow, nocturnal vibe. Siren’s moodboard is definitely blue, as one can observe from the cover art of all the singles she has released this year. The sea is another visual motif we see. Leading up to this, the cover art of this single, features Siren as a mermaid.
The track builds atmosphere using layered synths, airy production, and sparse electric guitars, letting Siren’s vocals really shine. There’s something understated but powerful about the way the vocal harmonies and soft notes float over a minimal, emotionally evocative backdrop. The outro becomes denser and cinematic, building up to an ethereal fading ending. If you like the likes of FKA Twigs or the spaciousness of Aurora’s music, you’ll probably catch similar moods in this song.
The lyrics and the song are ever dreamlike, evoking visual storytelling that Siren favors. The vocal lines and ethereal harmonies keep the feeling front and center. I especially like the way Siren balances both vulnerability and strength in her vocal performance. The production is minimalistic but impactful, which gives the song a cinematic feel while staying really personal. Siren’s mix of indie, alternative, and art rock sensibilities comes through clear.
Siren musically conveys a strong mood and emotional depth. Which is exactly why it is a brilliant song. So check out Sire’s visual work and drown in the waves of the “Siren Heroine”.
