SIENNA SPIRO Spills Her Heart Out On Intimate New Single "TAXI DRIVER"
RISING SINGER/SONGWRITER SIENNA SPIRO SPILLS HER HEART OUT
ON INTIMATE NEW SINGLE “TAXI DRIVER”
up-and-coming singer/songwriter SIENNA SPIRO returns with her new single “TAXI DRIVER” — an up-close portrait of searching for comfort in the anonymity of a stranger. The song tells a tale straight from the London-based artist’s own life. Go HERE to listen to “TAXI DRIVER” now.
Produced by Yakob (SZA, Kali Uchis, Lauv) and Fwdslxsh (Kid Cudi, 6LACK, PARTYNEXTDOOR), “TAXI DRIVER” is the latest evidence of SIENNA’s supreme talent for crafting beautifully sparse ballads with a powerful impact. Co-written by the 19-year-old rising star, the track brings her mesmerizing vocals to a tender reflection on yearning to escape the all-consuming pain of heartbreak.
“Taxi driver is based on a true story,” says SIENNA. “After a night out finding out some of the worst news I’ve ever received, I got into a taxi and started pouring out to the driver, crying and telling him everything. He drove for an hour and I felt such a connection with him. This story stuck with me .”
Opening on a flurry of propulsive piano notes, “TAXI DRIVER” begins as SIENNA steps into a cab and finds herself overwhelmed with the urge to spill her heart out to the driver. With a delicate balance of visceral emotion and exquisite control, her vocals inhabit a captivating urgency as she pleads for a moment of much-needed solace (“Saltburn in my eyes/Don’t wanna feel this way tonight/I’ll pay you any price/If you take me somewhere/I don’t know”). Built on a graceful arrangement of ear-catching sonic details — sorrowful strings, potent rhythms, elegantly warped textures — “TAXI DRIVER” once again leaves the listener stunned by the extraordinary range of SIENNA’s singular voice.
Recently teased on SIENNA’s social media with a full-choir rendition, “TAXI DRIVER” arrives as the highly anticipated follow-up to “MAYBE.” — an August release that’s holding strong on viral charts across the globe, approaching 4 million streams to date. Prior to sharing “MAYBE.” with the world, SIENNA made her debut with a breathtakingly raw ballad called “NEED ME” (released in May alongside a spellbinding video shot in a single take).
A DIY-minded artist who first started penning songs when she was only 10, SIENNA earned a massive online following before ever sharing her original music, thanks in part to her powerhouse cover of Donald Glover’s “Redbone.” With early co-signs from superstars like SZA, Snoh Aalegra, and more, SIENNA is now at work on more new music spotlighting her phenomenal voice and deeply poignant lyrics.
