Seinabo Sey - ‘Hard Time'

Seinabo Sey hails from Stockholm and has a knack for writing killer tunes. First single ‘Younger’ made serious waves in 2013, eclipsed only by a smooth-as-anything Kygo remix of the same. She’s back at it with the recent release of ‘Hard Time’, which puts her powerful soul-pop vocals front and centre.

The track is a punchy and uncompromising tale of the shifting power relationships between lovers. It’s accompanied by a visceral music video that juxtaposes the ordinary with the catastrophic, from a cat messily lapping up milk to a wave of ink crashing over the roofs of a city. Sey warns of the permanence of the largest and the smallest decisions in love - ‘forgive and forget’ just isn’t how it works.
