Why You Should Pay Attention to this Swedish soul singer Seinabo Sey pronounce it “say-na-bo see,” she admits “hasn’t gotten the hang of EDM,” After her procrastination-busting anthem “Younger” with the chorus which goes “You ain’t getting any younger, are you?” got remixed by Norwegian producer Kygo, it racked up over 10 million SoundCloud plays, millions of YouTube views and hit Number One on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. Last December, she performed the song as it appears on her new EP, “For Madeleine” , with a symphony orchestra at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo.Madeleine shows off Sey’s versatile vocal timbre. Now perfecting her debut album, she hopes to release it later this year in 2015.
The first time I had to perform by myself, I was 13 or 14. It was in order to get a grade in school. Prior to that I’d sing in choirs, so I never had to sing solo. Afterwards, I thought maybe I’m better at this than some people. I was happy that I had done something that I was very scared to do.
Americans will listen to new songs like you’ve never heard, and like them. In Sweden, people stand there and listen, and then applaud in between. They appreciate it, but they don’t show it ’til the song is over.
