GRAMMY-Nominee Seth Glier Premieres New Single and Pledge Campaign
Announces New Album BIRDS Due August 25th --- Premiere Of First Single "I'm Still Looking" Exclusively Via Glide Magazine --- Pledge Music Campaign Launch
New York, NY, June 28, 2017 (Newswire.com) - GRAMMY®-nominated singer/songwriter Seth Glier has released a performance video of his new track “I’m Still Looking” which premiered exclusively via Glide Magazine and also launched his Pledge Music campaign in support of his forthcoming new album, Birds. Seth says “I wrote ‘I'm Still Looking’ a few months after my brother passed away and I kept witnessing things that reminded me of him. It's difficult to tell whether these "signs" were sent down for me to receive or just stuff happening all the time. Death has a way of making us pay attention to life and I've found that there is much more beauty and magic in simply looking without the quest for meaning.”
On August 25, 2017, Seth will release Birds the follow up to his 2015 critically acclaimed If I Could Change One Thing. In early 2016, Seth gave a TEDx Talk in which he discussed how gratitude is not a state of peace for arrival, but a bitter battle for balance and reason. This was inspired after losing his brother Jamie to severe autism and led to the start of the writing of Birds. In keeping with matters close to his heart, Seth also tackles a few social issues on Birds. “Water on Fire” tears into fracking while “Justice For All” challenges the death penalty. A powerful, primal cover of the Buffalo Springfield classic “For What It’s Worth” rounds out the collection. Fans can pre-order the album on iTunes and stream “I’m Still Looking” on Spotify now.
