An emotionally rich and fearless return, Siri Neel delivers a stunning release marked by honesty, depth, and quiet strength.
Siri Neel returns with a new release, “I Think I Said Something,” that arrives with confidence and emotional depth, drawing the listener in without ever forcing the moment. There is an ease to the way the song unfolds, shaped by experience, reflection, and a clear sense of artistic self-trust.
What also stands out is how naturally the song reflects where Siri Neel is right now. Grounded, intentional, and quietly powerful, it's the kind of release that does not chase attention but earns it through sincerity. You can hear the confidence of an artist who knows her voice and is unafraid to use it on her own terms.
Below, we spoke with Siri Neel about her journey, her creative process, and the experiences that continue to shape her music today.
Here’s how it went:
Begin Interview:
Hello Siri Neel, we’re thrilled to have you here for this interview! We've had an amazing time exploring your music and diving into your creative journey. Now, we’re even more intrigued to get a deeper look into both your brand and your personal and professional inspirations.
Q. Do you feel that beginning your music career later in life has reshaped how you
make creative choices and long-term career decisions today?
A. It’s a difficult question, but yes—very much so. I’ve become wiser, especially about myself and about collaboration. I know my boundaries now, and I understand what kind of working relationships truly support me. I’m able to take on many more tasks myself, which makes my career much more sustainable. I book my own shows, I’m my own manager, and I’m essentially my own label. That gives me enormous creative freedom. Everything I do is aligned with my larger vision—my sound, my aesthetics, and the way it all connects. There’s a clarity and integrity in that which I don’t think I would have had earlier in life.
Q. What first drew you to living in England, and which parts of that experience still
echo through your music today?
A. I initially moved to England because of my husband’s work. But it was there that I discovered I could apply to a music conservatory—and more importantly, it was the people around me who saw the artist in me before I fully saw it myself. Living in England awakened my creativity. I realized how quickly I could write songs, and I discovered that there was a much bigger artist inside me than I had imagined. Those years play a huge role in my
music today—not only in my sound, but in the self-discovery I went through. Even though I’ve moved back to Denmark, I’ve held onto that rediscovery ever since and I really feels it channels through my music.
Q. Losing your voice for six years is a profound and painful chapter. How did you
emotionally survive that time, and did it change the way you trust your voice when it
returned?
A. It was an incredibly painful time, and it’s hard to explain how you survive something like that. What carried me through was a deep inner drive—one I didn’t fully realize I had until I lost my voice. When you lose something that matters that much, you’re willing to go very far to get it back. I learned not to take huge steps, but very small ones, and to value every tiny improvement along the way. In that time, when I couldn’t use my voice, I turned inward and cultivated a vulnerability that now lives in my singing. In many ways, I feel my voice is stronger today—not just technically, but emotionally. I wouldn’t have chosen that experience, but it has given my voice more depth, more truth, and more presence.
Q. When you walk into the studio, what matters more to you: a technically perfect
take or a moment that captures something raw and truthful?
A. Without question, something raw and truthful. Large studios give me anxiety, and I struggle with performance pressure in those environments. I feel much freer recording at home, where I can let go and be honest. I’d always choose emotion over perfection.
Q. Being described as a “late bloomer” can carry heavy assumptions. How did you
redefine that label and turn it into a source of strength?
A. When I started my career later, I immediately felt old—and for many years, I felt ashamed of that. Eventually, I realized that it could actually inspire people. That changed everything.
I began asking myself: why should I be ashamed of something that gives me depth and perspective? Who decided that quality and talent must be tied to youth? Once I questioned that idea, I turned it into a strength. I truly hope my journey encourages others to take a chance on themselves and not let external definitions decide their worth.
Q. What role does vulnerability play in your music, and do you ever push past
discomfort because honesty matters more?
A. Vulnerability plays a huge role in my music. Growing up, I had a very complex relationship with my mother, and my vulnerability often wasn’t received or held. That stayed with me well into adulthood. Because of that, I’ve had to push through a lot of discomfort to access the parts of myself that hurt—and to show them honestly. But that discomfort is where the truth lives, and that truth matters more than feeling safe.
Q. What’s coming next for you, and what should fans be excited about?
A. I hope to grow more internationally and to be embraced beyond borders. Artistically, I’m stepping even further into my quirkiness, my freedom, and my refusal to care about age.
I truly feel ageless. I feel freer than ever before—and that freedom is exactly where I’m meant to be right now.
