LISTEN: “Down Bad” by Siena Bjørn

Siena Bjørn had me at the opening bass riff of “Down Bad”.

Everything after the bass riff was icing on the cake.

What sets this song apart, as it delves into themes of unrequited desire and a lover’s infatuation with a disinterested partner, is Siena’s remarkable fusion of jazz, pop, alt, and R&B. It’s an unlikely blend that somehow works seamlessly, resulting in a beautifully cohesive sound.

Siena’s versatile vocals and her skillful lyricism combine to create a track that’s not only sassy but also irresistibly infectious. The sassiness shines through in both the lyrics and Siena’s vocal delivery, while the infectious quality emanates from the music and the lyrical content itself.

In “Down Bad,” Siena showcases her talent while delivering a track that is catchy and hooky as hell.
