Seinabo Sey Premieres New Song “Good In You”
Stockholm-based Swedish-Gambian singer-songwriter Seinabo Sey has shared a new song “Good In You”.
The song will appear on her upcoming sophomore album "I’m a Dream", which is due out September 7, 2018. It was written by Salem Al Fakir, Vincent Pontare, Magnus Lidehäll, Carli Löf and Seinabo Sey.
The new album was preceded by three singles "I Owe You Nothing", "Remember" featuring Jacob Banks and "Breathe".
The album comprises of 10-track, which are inspired from her experience of a trip to Senegal and Gambia, as well as Beyoncé's album "Lemonade".
She said of Beyoncé's, "There’s no excuse not to speak your mind. I have grown up on Beyoncé’s music videos my whole life."
It is her firs LP in three years. The album is available to pre-order here.- She told billboard about the album in an interview;
"I went to Senegal by myself. That was the spring where I was like, “Fuck this shit.” I’d been writing the album for maybe six months or so. I went to Dakar. I don’t really understand the way they speak Wolof, the language from that region of Gambia and Senegal. I understand Wolof, but they speak it with French, so I didn’t get shit. I was so lonely, but I still really felt like I was supposed to be there. I was drawn to that place.
I tried to write down why. I remember I was telling myself as an exercise, “Please stop decorating, just be as simple as you can, just write down why.” So I was like, “I love it here because I don’t have to explain to them why I’m beautiful.” So [that’s how] I wrote “Breathe.” And after I did that, I came back home and was like, “I think I have to write this album for somebody other than myself.” I felt like the people I was talking to this time have to be people that look like me, that are much younger than me, like my little sister." - source : Billboard
