Will McClean to release single Seem Alright, along with pairing music video on June 23rd.

Seem Alright is a contemplative yet fierce track, that continues to showcase Will McClean’s introspective lyricism and unique sound. The single explores the importance of taking a moment to slow down and realise that when we stop stressing over the little things, the present moment does in fact, seem alright. A message that is particularly relevant in today’s fast-paced, overthinking world.

The single’s captivating beginning demands the attention of its listeners. Punchy drums hit with a force that sets the tone for the entire track, signaling to the audience that this is a song that is meant to be felt as well as heard. It’s a powerful introduction that hooks the listener from the very beginning and sets the stage for the song’s musical and lyrical journey.

McClean sets the tone with the opening line : “Time zooms past, I’m trying to hold it together”, alluding to a sense of urgency.

Seem Alright boasts an uplifting vocal sample to mark the beginning of the chorus, punctuated with smooth clarinet notes, creating a unique and captivating sonic experience.

When talking about the song, McClean says :”I wrote this song as a reminder to myself to take a step back and breathe. I found myself getting caught up and stressing over things that don’t need to be stressed over, so stepping back and slowing down was instrumental in getting back on track”.

The pairing music video for Seem Alright was shot in Wellington on the top of a carpark building at sunset.

Mason Rudd, who directed McClean’s first music video from the album, expertly captures the essence of the song’s message and creates a visual feast for viewers.

Donning a baggy bowling shirt, a beret and oversized shoes, McClean is seen delivering a heartfelt performance of the song, accompanied by joyful dance moves in front of a vintage Holden Kingswood.
