SERAPHINA SIMONE O M D

Seraphina Simone’s latest single, ‘O M D’ is a personal, emotive track that takes us further into who she is as a person. Deep, grinding bass is introduced immediately, giving off a spacey, almost Kraftwerk-esque vibe, before Simone’s direct, clear voice muses on the struggle with depression in a relationship. “It's about loving someone struggling with depression, and how powerless you feel to help them,” she explains. “Like you're a bystander in your own relationship, just watching them untether themselves further and further.” Through well-used chord changes and echoing, layered vocals, the chorus transports the deep message into something beautiful. -Dan Peeke
