Siba’s Debut EP ‘Fruits’ Is a Pure Slice of Electro Pop Brilliance

Influenced by 90s one hit wonders from Backstreet Boys and Wheatus, the rising Copenhagen singer/producer offers up disco-smattered pop to dance to.

If you haven’t discovered Siba yet, he’s the rising Copenhagen singer/producer whose shimmering falsetto hits your heart just as quickly as his synth lines. His five-track debut EP Fruits, which you can listen to in full below, offers up just enough sticky, disco-smattered hyper pop to dance to, and just enough to discordance to keep it from sounding sickly.

The EP is mostly built on a lot of old ideas and stuff I did two or three years ago but I saw some potential in,” Siba told Noisey. “Thats why they are all kind of raw sounding. I just thought it was funny to have something out that could display where I come from. Plus, I think they’re a lot fun these tunes, which is what music is all about. When I was a kid before making music myself I was just listening to major pop and loving all the 90s one hit wonders because of the melodies. I was a big Backstreet Boys fan and I collected fan cards and all that. The first CD I bought myself was that Wheatus single “Teenage Dirtbag”, which to this day still gives me a very certain feeling when I listen to it. Anyway, that kind of music has had a big influence on how I listen to and make music, which I think shows on this EP.”
