Siena Fantini is the kind of artist who makes you remember what it felt like to be fifteen and feel everything all at once. With a voice that’s both open-hearted and unshakably confident, she channels diary pages into songs that land with emotional precision. Her newest single, “poptart”, is a perfect example of this — a sweetly whimsical, sensory-laced track that wraps a teenage crush in layers of memory and meaning.
“poptart” takes everyday objects and fleeting moments and transforms them into deeply felt metaphors — the crumbling texture of a stale breakfast treat, a preference between Dr. Pepper and Cherry Coke, and the warmth of someone who looks “…like a Tuscany summer night.” It’s a song about how our minds turn small, seemingly forgettable details into emotional monuments when we care about someone. There’s a particular intimacy in the way Siena tells this story, not as a performance but as a confession you might read scribbled in the margins of a notebook.
Recorded at Altamira Sound, the single features some heavyweight collaborators, including producer and bassist Sean Hurley (John Mayer, Lana Del Rey), Grammy-winning engineer Darrell Thorp (Radiohead, Foo Fighters), guitarist Harrison Whitford (Phoebe Bridgers), drummer Kiel Feher (Selena Gomez, Lauv), and keyboardist Taylor Mackall (Lizzy McAlpine, Joni Mitchell). Even among this expert cast, Siena’s voice and vision remain at the center — delicate, detailed, and distinctly her own.
Siena Fantini’s songwriting often treads the line between self-awareness and vulnerability. She writes like someone who watches herself move through the world with curiosity, narrating her life with a kind of grace that’s rare in any artist, let alone one so young. Her earlier songs — the jealousy-tinged wanna know her name, the quietly introspective The Loved, and the friendship-fueled Michigan — showcase her instinct for storytelling that resonates well beyond teenage years. Each track feels carefully crafted yet raw, refined yet full of wonder.
Inspired by artists like Taylor Swift, Lizzy McAlpine, Gracie Abrams, and Role Model, Siena doesn’t just mimic the emotional depth of her influences — she contributes to it. Her music is intimate without being isolating, polished without losing its sense of honesty. “Poptart” may be playful in tone, but it carries the weight of real feelings, and Siena doesn’t shy away from letting those emotions be heard.
Raised in Los Angeles with a musical background that includes theater, piano, and guitar, Siena Fantini has been preparing for this moment her whole life. And still, nothing about her work feels rehearsed. It’s spontaneous in the way a perfectly timed line in a conversation feels — the kind you remember long after the moment has passed. With just a handful of songs out in the world, Siena has already proven herself as a storyteller of rare empathy and clarity. Her music sparkles not because it’s loud, but because it’s true. “Poptart” is just another step in what promises to be a long and meaningful artistic journey, and it’s one worth following closely.
