Synth-savvy songstress Seja returns in 2013 with her single ‘C’mon’, a dreamy three minute stroll through a garden of cheerful pop delights. Mellotronic bees buzz alongside swooping synthesised birds, while happy couples daydream in the swaying layers of beautiful harmonic branches.

‘C’mon’ is a first tiny taste of things to come on Seja’s upcoming LP ‘All Our Wires’, a collection of pop gems that looks to be a sunnier, more pastoral take on the spacey synth-scaping that she first brought to the world back in 2009 on her debut ‘We Have Secrets But Nobody Cares’. This single specifically sees the blonde balladeer looking back to earnest pop icons of the 60’s and 70’s, influences of which can be heard in the shimmering acoustic guitarwork, the enchanting “ow woaw woaw’s”, and the sweetly crafted rhythm section, all recorded by Seja herself and her brother Mirko.
