SIENNA SPIRO Premieres Cinematic Video For New Single "TAXI DRIVER"

RISING SINGER/SONGWRITER SIENNA SPIRO PREMIERES CINEMATIC VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “TAXI DRIVER”

Today, up-and-coming singer/songwriter SIENNA SPIRO premieres the video for her new single “TAXI DRIVER”. The song is an up-close portrait of searching for comfort in the anonymity of a stranger and tells a tale straight from the London-based artist’s own life. Watch the video HERE.

“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.”

Directed by Elliot Hensford (BurnaBoy, Central Cee, Jorja Smith), and filmed in a New York City cab, the video for “TAXI DRIVER” brings the song’s narrative to life with equal parts cinematic grandeur and lived-in realism. After sliding into the backseat of a cab operated by an entirely aloof driver, SIENNA delivers an enthralling and immersive performance of the track, often singing to herself in the rearview mirror. Mainly filmed at night, the visual creates a gorgeous tension between the city’s endless shadows and the wild flash and color of its brightly shining lights — ultimately reaching an exhilarating peak as SIENNA leans out the window and fully surrenders to the strange magic of her surroundings.

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.

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.
