Review: "Just Say It" - Siena Mai

Coming off of Valentin'es Day weekend, I've been hearing a lot of the cliche love songs that don't quite capture everything. A lot of times it feels like these songs only capture what it feels like when you're freshly in a new relationship. What Siena Mai has captured is those moments right before all of the questions that you have about someone are answered. "Just Say It" is a perfect example of the daydreamy feeling that we get when we know we want someone and the music surrounding the lyrics feels so whimsical. Everything about this song makes you want to believe in love again and embrace those first moments.

The song starts off feeling and sounding optimistic. The first verse feels simple musically to allow room for Siena's voice to shine in all of its glorious raspy-ness. When the chorus hits, it sounds like everything gets extremely colorful bringing in those notes of whimsy. There are so many instruments that are added in the chorus like piano, xylaphone etc which help add those elements of magic. The piano continues to be a main even into the second verse as well. The lyrics are incredibly personal and dreamy, especially in the chorus really capturing what new love feels like. My favorite lyrics are, "It don't have to be complicated, if you're in love just say it."

Siena Mai is an 18 year old singer-songwriter from Liverpool, England. Siena's passion for the arts came when they were in drama schools local to her at a young age. While taking classes, they were able to explore singing and songwriting which followed suit for their love for pop music. Writing their own songs at the young age of 6 years old, they were able to express themselves the best this way through those crazy teenage years when emotions can be an all time high. Now with their newest single, "Just Say It," the world can now experience everything that Siena has to offer including their absolute raw talent and music intellect.
