Sia Shells Rallies her Fellow Merbabes on Uplifting Love Song “Your Mermaid”
Toronto-based singer-songwriter and real-life mermaid Sia Shells rhymes about the everyday magic we find through relationships, self-love, reflection, and dreams. Her emotive contralto vocals juxtaposed against enchanting lyrics and upbeat dream pop sounds instantly transport you underwater.
Coinciding perfectly with Disney’s live-action version of The Little Mermaid, Sia has created “Your Mermaid,” an anthem for her ocean-loving beach babes. The tropical seashell sounds evoke the nostalgia of Ariel, Flounder, and co. while the chorus resembles the ethereal calls of a siren, managing to keep it positive and uplifting instead of too moody and dark.

Care to introduce yourself to our readers?
I’m Sia! I’m a dream pop singer that loves to sing about the magic we find in our everyday lives. I also happen to be an IRL mermaid!
Tell us a bit about your most recent release, “Your Mermaid.”
Being a mermaid is mysterious, magical, alluring, and enchanting. Mermaids represent so many beautiful things that are associated with the ocean, my favourite place, so I made sure to represent that through the song’s thoughtful lyrics while weaving in a love element with a human, reminiscent of the new The Little Mermaid movie and Ariel’s relationship with Prince Eric. The nostalgic tropical seashell sounds even give “Under the Sea” vibes.
Where do you tend to pull inspiration from when writing?
Honestly, a little bit of everything! I like to romanticize the everyday occurrences in daily life and a sprinkle of whimsy to them, I think magic is everywhere we just have to look for it sometimes.
Do you have any upcoming shows you’d like to tell us about?
Not as of right now, but I am sure there will be more to come!
What’s your goal for 2023?
To continue exploring the tropical, beachy vibes of this new sound I am working on including the one you hear in Your Mermaid, it’s the perfect music to take along with you on vacation or in the summertime!
