Seaker's "Lately" offers a soulful ode to support & self-worth
As of recently, Seeker has been absolutely blowing us away with each and every single release! The London-based artist known for her evocative soundscapes and deeply introspective lyrics, returns with her latest single, "Lately." This track is a focused reminder of the importance of support and self-worth, a theme beautifully encapsulated in both the song and its accompanying video, which features candid clips from Seaker's life.
"Lately" is not just a love song, but a "support song," offering a comforting hand to those in their darkest moments. From the opening muted piano tones, Seaker sets a contemplative mood that invites listeners into her world. The minimal soundscape, characterized by its gentle yet persistent drum patterns, serves as the perfect backdrop for Seaker's soulful vocals. There's a raw honesty in her voice, a vulnerability that feels both intimate and universal.
"Lately" was born out of a drum part originally recorded for another track, but it’s clear that this song was destined to stand on its own. The drum’s steady rhythm anchors the song, creating a foundation over which Seaker layers her tender melodies. The result is a track that feels both grounded and ethereal.
The lyrics of "Lately" delve into the complexities of self-worth and the necessity of support. Seaker's words resonate deeply, particularly the lines that speak to the struggle of feeling one's own value amidst external reassurances. Her message is clear: even in our lowest moments, we are deserving of love and support. This theme is universal, making this song a serious beacon of hope for anyone who has ever doubted their worth.
The accompanying video, composed of those aforementioned candid clips from her life, adds another layer of intimacy to the track, even opening you up to the inside life of the artist. It’s a visual representation of the song’s message, showcasing moments of vulnerability, connection, and everyday beauty.
It’s a song that is both a soothing balm and a powerful call to action. It encourages listeners to reach out, to be there for others, and to recognize their own worth. As always, we want everyone out there to dig into the full discography, which you can do by clicking those links below!
