Transforming her anxious thoughts about heartbreak into a vibrant anthem of hope, Seraphina Simone has shared her latest single ‘Better Days’. Following on from her bittersweet track ‘Liverpool‘ which she released last year, the London-based artist blends drum & bass rhythms, evocative synths and emotive lyrics on her new single to help her recover from the residual grief at the end of a relationship.
“‘Better Days is waking up at 4am with a heavy chest and a lump in your throat and a constellation of thoughts, worries and what-ifs pinballing around your head,” Seraphina explains about her new single. “but [it’s also about] knowing that somewhere in the future there’s a you that’s happier, and just trying to keep a hold of that thread. It’s panic and sadness and frustration and hope plaited together.” Seraphina’s resilience in the face of this lingering heartache permeates the track. Pairing her cutting lyrics with her soft vocals, she pacifies the ache of a past love and leans into the possibility of new future romance in the process.
Co-produced with Matt Wills (Charlotte Plank, Alice Merton), Seraphina’s ‘Better Days’ was premiered by Lauren Laverne on her BBC 6Music Breakfast Show, marking a successful start to 2024 for the artist. She’s currently busy working on her second EP, the follow-up 2022’s Milk Teeth, which should be released later this year. Seraphina has also announced a London headline show at The Courtyard Theatre on 24th April 24th. Grab a ticket here.
