Kiki Rockwell Releases New Single ‘Selkie’
Ahead of her anticipated third studio album Plagued By Visions (out Friday 25 September), Kiki Rockwell today shares her latest myth‑steeped single Selkie, a track that deepens the album’s world of folklore, feminine power, and shadowy storytelling.
Rooted in Celtic mythology, Selkie reimagines the ancient tale of the seal‑woman who sheds her skin to walk on land. Through droning bagpipes, ritualistic folk drums and moody, cinematic strings, Rockwell traces the doomed romance between a mortal man of high social standing and the selkie who has been warned to remain in the deep. The narrative becomes a metaphor for losing yourself in love, the quiet erosion of identity, and the courageous act of reclaiming the wildness that was taken from you.
With its sweeping production and mythic emotional core, Selkie offers a striking preview of the sonic and thematic ambition of Plagued By Visions, marking a new chapter in Rockwell’s evolution as a storyteller and composer.
