Electronic Pop from SIESKI

Vancouver-based artist SIESKI has been building a name for herself in the alternative music scene, dazzling listeners with her exquisite vocals and immersive arrangements. A queer singer-songwriter, musician and actor, SIESKI’s approach to art has resulted in a unique and enchanting blend of modern and timeless elements.

Since her debut in 2019 with the single “I Feel Ya, Ophelia,” SIESKI has proven herself to be a rising act in the alternative pop world, consistently releasing music that draws in listeners with its whimsical and emotive qualities. Her artistic journey has been marked by a series of well-received singles, with her debut EP Dreamist setting the tone for her sound, a sound that’s at onve dreamy and grounded, lush yet accessible.

Her creative adventure has included highlights like the 2022 single “Scale Model” being accompanied by a Factor-Funded music video and the queer-femme anthem “Lady Deity,” featured in the #VizzybilityProject curated by Canada’s Drag Race winner Priyanka and Queer Collective. Now, bringing us her second release of the year after her cover of “Lunch” dropped in June for Pride Month, she shares her new single titled “Gumdrops,” an infectious dance-focused pop house outing.

Opened by the swell of shimmering synths and warbling vocal textures, the punch of the kick sets a steady rhythm as SIESKI’s silky smooth vocals spin alluring melodies above. As the instrumentation gently rises up around her voice and the beat takes on more energy, the track bursts into a sensational dance pop outing full of jazz-inflected vibes and instantly catchy vocal hooks.

Serving up a colourful and uplifting sound, the thump of the beat keeps the energy rolling as the shifting arrangement provides an intoxicating blend of stabbed tones and vibrant aesthetic. Dropping the pace in the breakdown, a dreamy sound takes hold as SIESKI’s vocals drift through an ethereal atmosphere before the drums and pulsing synths filter in to build towards the finale.

With a completely original sound, memorable writing and and stunning vocal performance, “Gumdrops” sees SIESKI continue to stake her claim as a must-watch artist in the alternative pop sphere. As she continues to share her unique and compelling sound, we can’t wait to see what SIESKI has in store for the rest of 2024 and beyond.
