Following on the heels of their recent single, "River Of Tears," Seafret have delivered another masterpiece with their latest release, "Wait." The passionate track serves as a love letter to the duo's anchors in life, expressing their longing and gratitude to the places and relationships that give them a reason to return from touring. Exposing the inspiration behind the song's narrative, Seafret shared, "The reality of being a musician is a two-faced coin. On one side you have lots of incredible experiences and get to see places you could never have dreamt of going. The other is that it takes you away from everyone and everything you love and call home. This song is about finding those people, that place and praying they can hold strong until you return."
Matching the single's tender, vulnerable lyrics, "Wait" exudes warmth and honesty as Seafret reflect over a vibrant, bittersweet soundscape. The track seamlessly blends folk rock with indie pop, creating an immersive atmosphere that features rich harmonies, spirited strings, and exhilarating vocals. Embracing the duality Seafret described as the song's inspiration, "Wait" incorporates melodies that are equal parts hopeful and melancholic, repeating a haunting hummed motif that's balanced by explosive, joyous choruses. Perfect for fans of acts like Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, Train, and Noah Kahan, "Wait" is certainly a song no one wants to miss.
A decade into their career, Seafret are a duo comprised of two best friends and musical co-conspirators, Jack Sedman and Harry Draper. Neither musician could have predicted the success they have seen, riding the wave of their hit single, "Atlantis," as it reemerged into the limelight through a viral TikTok moment that has gifted the pair over a billion streams and 10 million monthly Spotify listeners. Over the years, Seafret have built an impressive catalog, having released three studio albums as well as several EPs and singles. A reinvigorated band, amazing things are on the horizon for Seafret, but until then, some songs to enjoy include "Oceans," "Fall," "Wildfire," and "Give Me Something."
