Growing up in the music industry has served her well.
Meet Seraphina Simone, the daughter to Terence Trent D’Arby. New effort ‘Cherry’ is the first in a string of upcoming releases for the young talent.
Soulful vocals and a mature synth line, the track has a full, exciting sound that’s hard not to be enthralled by.
Mature and confident from the off, this halcyon indie-pop bop is a very promising sign of things to come. Dismantling the ‘American Dream’, the track lyrically explores the things that we’re told will make us happier, but that ultimately end up leading us to a superficial rat race. One in which there are no winners.
Speaking on the track she explains that, “‘Cherry’ is the voice in our heads telling us we don’t have enough, telling us to want more, buy more, be richer, be thinner, be prettier, be better than everyone else. It’s that sarky bitch who’s really mean to you and you hate her but you also kind of want to be her best friend because she’s perfect and you’re a mess. It’s the voice fuelled by consumer culture and jealousy and insecurity and myths like the American Dream. It seems harmless enough even though it fucks up the planet and makes us miserable no matter how much we have. Maybe in a weird way Covid will make us realise we don’t need so much shit to be happy.”
