After a slew of elusive teasers on social media and even a website countdown, Daniel Seavey has announced his debut solo album Second Wind, set to release March 7. Fittingly titled after his latest release, Seaveyâs upcoming album is racking up momentum from his support on Benson Booneâs tour last fall. Giving us a taste of whatâs to follow, âSecond Windâ is an enticingly vibrant, deliciously abstract pop microcosm that chronicles a monumental comeback.
âSecond Windâ mesmerizes with infectiously choppy beats, dopamine-drenched melodies, and effortless notes of guitar that elevate Seaveyâs vocals to the surface. He sings, âYou try to cast me away, but you know Iâll come back again / I was lost and afraid, but you gave me a second wind.â Seavey writes an ode to retrospection, realizing that, in hindsight, sometimes our obstacles are the greatest motivation.
Produced by LA-based rising indie tycoon Slimdan and Noah Conrad, known for his contributions to Chappell Roanâs âRed Wine Supernovaâ and ROLE MODELâs Kansas Anymore, âSecond Windâ is irrefutably tied to the present moment. From the ear-catching vocal overlays to the striking synths, the track has an essence tapped straight from the vein of pop culture.
Clad with vivid memories, and spirited vignettes that forage through Seaveyâs psyche, the track bears lyrical depth that brings âSecond Windâ to life. If the forthcoming album is anything like its title track, expect a powerful yet euphoric journey through Seaveyâs experimental pop mind.
