NicotineLove Selkie says her songs "sway like the ebb and flow of the ocean" but on her stunning debut single 'Seeking', her soaring, crystalline vocals send us into orbit. Spectral synths and celestial harmonies interweave as a sparsely plucked guitar emerges from the void. Fans of JFDR and Agnes Obel will enjoy Selkie's soundscapes.

lyrics

i made a floating island
somewhere inside my head
and i keep finding myself
standing at the edge
i'm on the edge of myself
i'm on the edge of you
it's rare
it's rare
it's rare but something is there

i'm seeking, i'm seeking
i'm reaching out for you
i'm searching, i'm searching
you're looking for me too
i'm hoping, i'm holding on
to the last breath we shared

the softest silence
the calmest, wholest dark
a gentle tugging, something
beneath pulling apart
to reveal a shard of brilliant light
it penetrates my layers
consumes me deep inside
it penetrates my spirit
moves me into life

something uncontainable
truly undeniable
strangely sweet and magical
so curious, so beautiful
illumination
elevation
a celebration of
this moment that we
shared
