Sienna Spiro has released her new single ‘Material Lover’ as a part of The Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack. The English singer-songwriter wrote ‘Material Lover’ specifically for the sequel and is the fourth song on the 13-track album, ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2 (Music From The Motion Picture)’.
At only 20 years old, she attended her first movie premiere for The Devil Wears Prada 2 and told her Instagram followers “One of my biggest dreams has always been to make music for movies, and this is my first song in a film.” She added that ‘Material Lover’ is “a song about loving real things in a world of AI, and everything digital.”
‘Material Lover’ was written by Spiro herself and has been released with a music video which can be seen on YouTube. She also told her followers, “We shot this in a few hours before the premiere. I love real things & I love New York,” a little nod to the lyrics.
While Spiro is known for her unique style and distinct voice, she explained where her inspiration really came from with Ary Russell for Interview Magazine, stating “I love the personality and character of the sixties, and how individual it is.”
“Nancy Sinatra, Barbara Streisand, and Francoise Hardy are amazing women who I just admire a lot.”
“The way I sing is the main way I pay homage to those artists because that’s how I learned to sing.”
Prior to ‘Material Lover’, Spiro had dropped her long-awaited song ‘The Visitor’ because of popular demand from fans on social media. However, in the same interview told Russell, “’The Visitor’ I wrote nine times and I genuinely have nine finished versions of that song. I believed in it so much and everyone was sick of me.”
The ‘Die on This Hill’ singer has had an incredible year on her journey to stardom. Spiro has yet to release an album and has already performed on The Tonight Show, been nominated for BRITs Critics’ Choice Award, and made it to Forbes’ 30 Under 30. She has had an incredible run, and we hope to see her expanding her discography soon.
Spiro has currently finished the North American leg of ‘The Visitor’ tour and she is due to return to the UK for more shows on the 15th of May. She will perform in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and London after taking on Dublin. In addition, she will be performing at the All Things Go Festival on the 27th of September.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 came out on the 1st of May and is currently being screened in cinemas, while ‘Material Lover’ can be streamed on Spotify and other platforms.
