Electronic artist Seiren, expresses the bittersweet, yet dividing emotional experience one encounters when dealing with the loss of human connection, and by default grief. Seiren’s original single, cleverly titled as “Your Melody,” reflects on the innate state of inner turmoil that's followed by an unexpected loss. The dynamic piece successfully conveys the overwhelming desire to nurture a lost voice through its heartfelt, yet brutally honest lyrics, and vivid soundscape. Its title, striking chorus, and ambiguous purpose drives the beauty of vulnerability and never-ending love to be appreciated: “This song is your melody / You’re gone / But not lost in my memory.” The repeated phrase “Your Melody,” is perceived as a love letter directed to the speaker’s gone addressee. In a way, a promise is being made. Despite this person being gone, their voice is kept alive. Seiren’s playful and intentional use of the word melody brings a warm light to the song’s serious and sensitive subject matter. The memorable effect a melody has on a tune, parallels the memorable effect this person had, and still has on the speaker. At the same time, the keyword melody is pivotal to the song’s overall tone. The conflicting emotions of grief and regret are gently pushed aside to highlight the beauty of memory and bring focus to the person who is loved, and profoundly missed. Seiren’s “Your Melody,” is characterized by a strong sense of authenticity. Without a doubt, as a listener, that feeling is valued and lingers throughout the touching tribute.
As a listener, you can feel the intense care and detail in this song. There is a meticulous nature that is deeply-rooted in Seiren’s sound and lyrics. The song’s powerful and energetic mood is credited to rising artists, UNDY, New City Lights, and Seiren herself. The collaboration in composition and lyrics transforms a simple message on grief, to reveal an engaging vision of emotionally-driven chaos. “Your Melody,” is constructed by a paralleled voice and instrumental track, both elements reflecting the lyrics' emotional state. The intertwined themes of heartbreak, disbelief, and loyalty shine through the balanced duo of the speaker’s voice and the song’s intentional, dynamic soundtrack. “Your Melody,” accentuates Seiren’s masterful producer and DJ skills via the tune’s unique and controlled sound. The song’s atmosphere has a very intimate feel, nuanced by a wistful and soul-stirring spirit. In short, this is due to Seiren’s specific artistic style, designed by melodic and cinematic trap sounds. Because of this, the song’s emotional
narrative is heightened by a versatile range of electronic beats.
The song’s introduction is grounded by a soft piano, steady background beats, and ballad-like sound. It is stated, “Why was I not there / With you to hold your hand / Live and die together / This wasn’t part of the plan.” While feelings of regret, guilt, and sorrow are present, there is a subtle strength and resilience present. The controlled emotion behind the singer’s vocals carries the pacing build up of “Your Melody.” An explosion of sound erupts during the song’s main hook, and as previously mentioned, the repeated “This song is your melody / You’re not lost in my memory” lingers. However, the sound is still considered tame and in balance with the singer’s vocals. There is an enriching harmony at play, creating a magic-like, dreamy atmosphere with reverbing adlibs. But, as the song’s storytelling progresses, we see a change in sound (both vocal and instrumental). There is a stronger sense of depth and power, with low-end textures dominating the track and vocals growing in energy: “Can’t believe you’re gone / After all these years / Just a broken heart / After all these tears / But you’d tell me it's all okay / Promise I’ll see you again some day.” As the speaker’s feelings intensify, the sound does as well. The subtle resilience suddenly shifts into a louder, bolder, all consuming strength. You cannot help but to be drawn by Seiren’s immersing music. Seiren’s ability to effortlessly depict aching pain, confusion, and genuine love, is truly inspiring.
The Australian-born and NY based artist, Annette Lentini, popularly known as Seiren, is beloved for her unique sound and thrilling electronic visions. Her roles as producer and DJ have allowed for Seiren’s desire to create dynamic, potent, and animated music to flourish. Seiren’s consistency and respect for the craft has gradually built her sound to leave an emotional impact on listeners. Her open-minded nature and curious spirit with creating sound, has marked an influence on audiences. Seiren’s foundation with cinematic trap and flexible melodic bass rhythms has echoed her originals and iconic remixes to be embraced by listeners. Among many, I personally love Seiren’s fresh takes on Tate McRae’s “Greedy,” Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” and Mariah Carey’s “We Belong Together.” As of 2022, Seiren has dedicated her pursuit of music to be a full time undertaking. Her live shows, growing online presence, and unfiltered love for her art, has driven her music to reach greater heights and her following to evolve in popularity. In the year of 2023, Seiren gained an increase of over 130% streams and a total of 25.3K listeners. As of 2025, her EDM based sound continues to grow and Seiren’s reputation as an artist has pushed the boundaries of constricting artists to a specific genre.
