Swedish Idol contestant and fan favorite is back with a vibrant pop tune for the summer. "Hear Me Out" packs a deeply emotional tale beneath the surface of its synthpop exterior. It's a song about holding onto a dying relationship. You know it's over. You can't go back to the way things were, but you still reach out in hopes that maybe you can rekindle that flame. It's a tragic and stressful feeling to realize that a relationship is at its end, and this track perfectly encapsulates the stages of grief in play until the fire burns out. This much emotion isn't typical for the synthpop genre and it really sheds some light on the unique talent San Sebastian brings to the table. Not every artist can be so vulnerable but mask it so well.
Musically, "Hear Me Out" dominates the hip-lounge music scene. This song is an absolute club banger. You could play this at any party and I guarantee it would have a crowd on their feet. It's got bright synth riffs, a groovy bassline, and nonstop club drums. What more could you want? Oh, right, San Sebastian's killer vocals of course. It's actually hard to believe that the lyrics are as emotional as they are with such a danceable vibe. It reminds me a lot of songs by Adam Lambert, Tove Lo, and Fletcher that take a similar approach of putting emotional stories into upbeat pop jams. San Sebastian definitely has made this art his own though, adding a shiny chrome camouflage to such a melancholy topic. And it works.
Originally hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, pop artist and songwriter, Sebastian Rydgren found his love for music performing in talent shows. He would go on to attend the singer-songwriter program at Rytmus, a college in Stockholm. In 2022, he became a contestant on Swedish Idol, giving his art its much-deserved exposure to the public. Finishing in an impressive fourth place, Sebastian took some time to refine and hone his skills as a musician. Having originally released music under the name Norr, Sebastian has now rebranded himself as San Sebastian. With a fresh start, "Hear Me Out" marks the debut of this new persona. I truly admire when an artist can discover more about themselves in their art, and I can't wait to keep following San Sebastian in future releases. "Hear Me Out" is available on your favorite streaming platform now and you should definitely check it out!
