Siena Fantini's latest release, "cross country," is a playful, restless pop story of other cities, time zones, accents, emotional complexities, and interpreting long-distance attraction. The conversational way of writing gives an intimate personality to the song, especially in lines such as, "I like when they speak Greek / A time zone can't beat me. It's a fun, exciting romance, but the narrator knows it won't last, because summer flings can get complicated by fall. The repetition of "Cross/country" gives the song a sticky identity, and the closing promise to "write our soundtrack" leaves the knotted romance charmingly up in the air.
