Background
Sink Now, Swim Later reflects on the experiences encountered during youth and focuses on new beginnings and relationships. About the EP, Spiro says, "Whilst each of the songs have their own world and story, they all relate to the feeling of being on the outside. Whether it’s the longing for validation, the desire to be needed and kept around, the pressure to change to be relevant, or escaping through fantasy."[2]
Critical reception
Cody Veal from Hive Magazine gives the EP 5 out of 5 stars and says, "To call this an impressive debut release doesn't seem to give it the justice it deserves, as the artistry and talent evident in each track precedes her. This EP contains a charming array of affirmative, emotion-emitting tracks that I'm sure a great number of people can resonate with, which I'm sure makes many, myself very much included, excited and seated to see the inevitable upward trajectory of Sienna Spiro's career."[3]
Leah Fan of New Wave Magazine says, "Since her viral TikTok covers there was an unwavering confidence in Sienna's listeners that she was destined for success in the jazz and pop industry, this EP has just confirmed it." Fan continues, "Be prepared to have your heart strings pulled on in Sienna Spiro's debut EP as it unleashes a new sound experience that you didn't know you needed to feel until now."[4]
Cryptic Rock gave Sink Now, Swim Later 4.5 out of 5 stars, stating that "there is much to like about what Sienna Spiro brings to the modern music scene. These eight songs give a great introduction to what she is capable of."[5]
