Sienna Spiro’s latest single “Great Expectation” has this week hit the Top 10 on the Spotify Ireland Top 50 chart and is currently on course to hit the Top 10 in the Irish Singles Chart – Sienna’s highest charting single to date.
“Great Expectation” is the latest single from Sienna’s debut album “Visitor”, released earlier this Summer. It follows the smash hit, multi-platinum selling breakout single “Die On This Hill” and “Material Lover” which featured in the movie The Devil Wears Prada 2.
A moody soul-pop cut with a soaring chorus and orchestral flourishes, “Great Expectation” taps directly into Visitor’s themes of personal resilience in the face of abandonment. A rainy-day piano riff eventually builds to a swaying full-band sound as SIENNA dives into the poignant hook: “If happiness is just an illusion, you were the best I ever had / If you can’t be what I want, and the things you say aren’t true / All I need is the great expectation of you.” The music video plays into the song’s era-spanning sound with a setup fit for a vintage variety show.
“‘Great Expectation’ is about a time when I was living in New York for a little while and talking to someone who kept saying they were gonna come see me,” says SIENNA of her new single. “Every morning, I’d walk down the stairs of the apartment building and, for a second, genuinely believe he’d be outside waiting. Then I’d spend the next five minutes walking down the street imagining what I’d say, what it would feel like, what would happen if they were really there. He never came. The song became less about that person, and more about expectation itself. Whether it’s beautiful or just a way of setting yourself up to be disappointed. I wrote this song about knowing deep down he would never be what I wanted and that living with the idea of him was safer than nothing at all.”
Disarmingly candid and staggeringly beautiful, Visitor was executive produced by Omer Fedi (Sam Smith, SZA), with additional production from an elite crew including Blake Slatkin, Yakob, and Michael Pollack, plus orchestral composers like Larry Gold (Al Green, Silk Sonic) and Academy Award winner Peter Rotter. SIENNA and her hand-picked collaborators brought her vision to life in an array of warm, legendary spaces like Electric Lady Studios in New York, Abbey Road Studios in London, and Valentine Recording Studios in Los Angeles.
