Sisi

One Liner:  I don't know man, 3 songs that are definitely not my thing

Wikipedia Genre:  No Wikipedia - assuming I have the right one, she is alt-R&B?
Home: Austin

Poster Position: Not on the poster
Weekend Two Only.
Sunday at 1

Thoughts:  Sisi is a place in Crete, Greece.  Also, the nickname of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, the wife of Franz Joseph I.  It is also the name of a Dutch fruit-flavored beverage.  For our purposes, this is a singer with only three songs available on Spotify, none of which have been noticed my many folks.  My impression after a few listens to her most streamed tune - "Good Time" (with 5,823 streams) is a poor-man's Maggie Rogers.

Well, I assume that to be true, because that gal is from Austin and so it would make sense for her to be the one on the poster.  But there is also a UK artist who goes by Sisi who is apparently "a true superstar in the making" who is receiving regular BBC radio support.  Assuming this is not that "incredibly versatile artist covering everything from Afropop to Garage."  Also, there is a Chinese-American alternative R&B singer-songwriter who moved to L.A. to pursue her sound, which is described as: "inspired by the vocal fluidity and raw introspection of alternative R&B artists like Drake, Frank Ocean, and The Weeknd while invoking images of femme fatale / female power in the vein of Rihanna & Beyonce."  Criminy, wait, there is another who is an Italian who sang on the X Factor TV show.  So, this name sucks for an artist, just FYI.  No good articles I can find about her online - they are almost all about the Brit.

Spotify bio says that she is Venezuelan-American, and that her debut single "taps into the generational goal of latina kids to want to find any way possible to make sure they can take care of their parents."  Her bio also claims that a full-length album is coming fall 2022.  Which doesn't seem to have worked out.  Here is that tune, called "Rich or Dead."  2,215 streams.

Don't care for it.  Feels like the drum beat is trying to steal some 80's song that I can't quite place.  Not much else to say about her since no one is writing about her out there.  I hope that she can use the $0.03 she made from her streaming numbers to take care of her folks.
