Multi-platinum singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Daniel Seavey unveils new brilliant Single “I Tried” via Atlantic Records
With hypnotizing guitar plucks and a celestially catchy refrain, Seavey strips back for a beautifully raw continuation of his solo journey. The single arrives ahead of Seavey’s forthcoming debut EP release, Dancing In The Light.
Daniel says: “’I Tried’ was a tough song to write. The melody came easy, but the self-admittance of failure in the lyrics was something that took me quite a bit of soul searching and time. I realize you can’t fix something you broke, but I believe honesty helps.”
Embarking on a new chapter of his career, the Why Don’t We co-founder made his solo debut in late 2022 with “Can We Pretend That We’re Good?” and “Runaway” – a pair of explosive self-penned/produced singles deemed “punchy and experimental” by Billboard, while Rolling Stone praised Seavey for his “impeccable production skills, stellar vocals, and personal artistry” and PAPER echoed his “keen ear for melodies.” The former track has tallied over 16 million global streams since release, further highlighted by four alternate versions showcasing the artist’s versatile musicality across over 20 instruments.
Following his December sold-out live solo debut show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles, Seavey announced his highly anticipated 2023 Introducing Daniel Seavey headline tour. Quickly following suit, the 17-show run sold out in minutes with venue upgrades due to overwhelming demand. Opening last week in San Diego, CA, the skilled set featured a mix of new tracks and dynamic covers produced live in real time for fans.
On the road, he often penned and produced nascent ideas that would eventually become the foundation of his own unique sound. In 2022, he hunkered down in his home studio and wrote and recorded what would become his debut. He not only sang and produced, but he also played every instrument, infusing a piece of himself upon each facet.
