MOTHICA‘s newest single “Sirens” features the Canadian alt-pop artist Sophie Powers – also co-written in collaboration with Lynn Gunn of the pop-rock band PVRIS – showcasing their unique quality as distinctive artists, conveying the complex emotions underlying the song’s narrative of infatuation with a toxic persona.
MOTHICA’s vocal delivery on this song is haunting, drawing on the synergy at play between herself and Sophie Powers’ contribution. As this song moves ever-so closer to its endpoint, this musical endeavour blends elements of alt-pop and Sophie’s alluring vocal range, adding another layer of dimension to this song’s underlying instrumentals, further making this a journey worth experiencing across its 3-minute runtime.
This song is a great showcase of MOTHICA’s ability to craft a narrative that shines through in her instrumentation and lyrics, and while this song explores the magnetic pull of forbidden attraction, it is the MOTHICA’s personal narrative of connection that works, and is undeniably alluring. “I wrote ‘Sirens’ about having feelings for someone who is a walking red flag,” MOTHICA says about the story of this song. “The type of toxic person you should avoid, but the tantalizing allure of ignoring your intuition about someone.”
MOTHICA’s “Sirens” is another great addition to her strong artistic evolution and showcases her willingness to collaborate with talented peers to create something truly exceptional. I think I might enjoy this song as much as ‘Sensitive‘.
