Introducing an amazing artist known as Séamus born Seamus McNamara, the singer, songwriter, and producer creates introspective, genre-agnostic songs that feel entirely fresh, yet remarkably familiar. Pulling from r&b, alternative pop, new wave, and experimental, he delivers tracks with cinematic atmospheres, vocal experimentation, and hypnotic synth work that show great depth and vulnerability. The Marin County native credits his early musical influences to Tracy Chapman and Jesse McCartney while finding newer guidance in artists such as Corbin, Sampha, Joyce Manor, and Charli XCX. His debut single Soft (now unreleased) arrived in partnership with France-based label and tastemaker brand, Kitsuné in early 2020. Following on from his initial success was Lament, a four-song project that explored distance, heartbreak, and isolation through a sonic and visually packaged punch. Each of the four tracks received support from Spotify and SoundCloud’s editorial teams. With the release of his newest single “Bad Thoughts,” he presents a nostalgic sound that will surely intrigue your ears. Beginning with dreamy instrumentation leading onto his sweet and luscious vocals he completes the track entirely. Explaining the song a bit further it’s about times when you don’t feel your best, and you want to escape those “Bad Thoughts” that linger around. Trying to find happiness and moments that bring joy to your life. To the vocals and production, this single will certainly have you vibing and even possibly relating to the lyrics. It would be just perfect for a late night drive or a day out on the beach. Go stream “Bad Thoughts” and check out his discography which is filled with astounding music.
