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, Seavey’s upcoming album is racking up momentum from his support on Benson Boone’s tour last fall. Giving us a taste of what’s to follow, “Second Wind” is an enticingly vibrant, deliciously abstract pop microcosm that chronicles a monumental comeback.
“Second Wind” mesmerizes with infectiously choppy beats, dopamine-drenched melodies, and effortless notes of guitar that elevate Seavey’s vocals to the surface. He sings, “You try to cast me away, but you know I’ll come back again / I was lost and afraid, but you gave me a second wind.” 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 Roan’s “Red Wine Supernova” and ROLE MODEL’s Kansas Anymore, “Second Wind” 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 Seavey’s psyche, the track bears lyrical depth that brings “Second Wind” to life. If the forthcoming album is anything like its title track, expect a powerful yet euphoric journey through Seavey’s experimental pop mind.
