What's Good Y'all! As the summer is slowly coming to an end, good and classic R&B vibes do not stop.
Yesterday I went for a walk, and I was going to play my usual bops but I decided to get into something new, 'Weekend' by Siaira Shawn. Now I did not look Siaira up and there aren't any details, as of yet, on their artist profile on streaming platforms. So I listened to the song over and over again. It didn't catch me at first but as I kept listening I kept imagining driving to my favorite place, the beach, windows down, shades on and enjoying this tune with my hubby. I even imagined this song on Insecure, lol it sounded like the perfect vibe as Issa and her girls got ready for a girls trip.
Siaira is not new to the game, the 'Ghost-EP' was released in 2013 and the debut album 'Tender', 2019. I went back to listen to a few older tracks by Siaira and was instantly reminded of Syd Tha Kid. Older tracks like 'Wolf', 'Good Luck' feat. Phabo and 'Wrong Speed' which, coincidentally, was on the Season 3 soundtrack of 'Insecure', all made me reminiscent of Syd. But don't let the comparison fool you from checking out more tracks from Shawn because variety is definitely there along with a voice that is smooth like butter.
'Weekend' showcases Siaira's voice differently along with a different look. Past looks were giving "Don't look at me, just focus on the music", this new cover on the single 'Weekend' is giving "I been doing this shit for a minute, it's my time", and I concur! I HIGHLY suggest for you to take a minute and go through the discography that is Siaira Shawn, the writing, the beats, the voice...chef's kiss! Make sure you just begin with the 'Weekend'.
