Sienna Spiro Announces Debut EP 'Sink Now, Swim Later' Out February 21, 2025

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, 19-year-old singer/songwriter SIENNA SPIRO announces the forthcoming release of her highly anticipated debut EP, SINK NOW, SWIM LATER due out on February 21st via Capitol Records .
Recently featured on the coveted "10 Musicians To Watch in 2025" list from Dazed - who hailed her voice as "huge enough to rival all the pop greats" - SIENNA once again reveals the extraordinary power of her vocal talents on her new track "BUTTERFLY EFFECT" - a stripped-back but soaring ballad affirming her as one of the most stunning vocalists of her generation. As the opening number to SINK NOW, SWIM LATER, the piano-driven track serves as a perfect introduction to the London-based artist's timeless sound and immense emotionality.

Said SIENNA, '"BUTTERFLY EFFECT' is the introduction track to my debut EP and really sets the emotional tone of the project. I created the track to have an unexpected climax and lack of structure to capture the unpredictability that mirrors 'the butterfly effect' concept and really tells the story of what this song is about. I'm so excited to be getting this out into the world and to share a collection of music I have been working on for such a long time."

Along with "BUTTERFLY EFFECT," SINK NOW, SWIM LATER will feature SIENNA's breakout hit "MAYBE." - a major fan favorite that's climbed four viral Spotify charts across the globe and garnered over 35 million streams to date. In addition, the EP includes previously released tracks like "BACK TO BLONDE" (a November release that landed her on Pigeons & Planes' round-up of "10 New Artists You Should Listen To This Week"), "TAXI DRIVER," and her debut single "NEED ME." Made with producers like J Moon (Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa), Max Wolfgang (Sia, Kelly Clarkson), and Sol Was (SG Lewis, Beyoncé), SINK NOW, SWIM LATER brings SIENNA's captivating vocals and intimate lyrics to songs exploring everything from yearning to grief to the life-changing discovery of true inner strength. See below for the EP's full tracklist.

Produced by Yakob (SZA, Lauv), "BUTTERFLY EFFECT" opens on a brightly fluttering piano melody as SIENNA begins to narrate her story of longing, regret, and self-sacrifice. As the song slowly builds in intensity - eventually weaving in a lush string section - she offers up a sorrowful plea to hold onto the one she adores (from the second verse: "I'll unravel in your Mustang/Just so you can trust me/I'll morph into any shape you like"). Co-written by SIENNA, Yakob, and Mary Weitz (FLETCHER, Remi Wolf), the result is a tearful yet transcendent track that captures an incredible expanse of feeling in just two-and-a-half minutes, with SIENNA's vocals endlessly shifting from elegantly controlled to sublimely unfettered.

Just last week, SIENNA treated fans to the long-awaited release of "MAYBE. (Live from The Mews)" on digital streaming platforms — go HERE to listen now. Since she first posted a video of the live performance five months ago, countless fans have demanded an official release of the soul-baring ballad's all-acoustic version.

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" which has amassed over 6 million views on TikTok alone. With her longtime influences including Frank Ocean, Etta James, Frank Sinatra, and Amy Winehouse, she soon began integrating jazz elements into her music while gently leaning toward a more contemporary sonic aesthetic. After releasing "NEED ME" in May 2024, she instantly captured the attention of all the right ears, earning early co-signs from superstars like SZA, Snoh Aalegra, Mark Ronson, FINNEAS and more. With SINK NOW, SWIM LATER, SIENNA continues to build on the foundation of her previous releases, spotlighting her phenomenal voice and deeply poignant lyrics.
