Receiving rave reviews from the likes of CLASH and CLOUT to name a few, ‘Videogames’ deserves its own crown. A ground-breaking new single that oozes with character, Sean Wyer’s ‘Videogames’ feels like it could change the game of pop music forever. Passionate and gliding through with distinctive British vocals and a hypnotic rhythm, this confident number refuses to bat an eyelid to any haters.
Telling us about his thoughts on the exceptional new single, Sean Wyer shares, “Videogames is really about missing people you love. Lockdown was incredibly tough in that way. I’d fallen for a guy, but I was scared to tell him. I spent my teenage years in the closet, so I hadn’t had many chances to experience these deeply romantic feelings before. It was mid-lockdown and playing video games was a way to take my mind off how I felt. I’d get lost in the game and it made it easier to not think about things. In the end, I worked through my emotions by writing this song for him.”
A track that seems to be have written in one sitting, Sean explains the writing process,” I was sat at the piano, and it just hit me that this is what I wanted to write. It was a really emotional experience. The lyrics came out of nowhere and suddenly took away all the confusion. It was like a lightning bolt of inspiration. Later, I realised that it was the perfect song to collaborate on with Joel. He loves to experiment with lots of unique sounds in his production and he really brought the computer game aspects to life. It was a very cool collaboration. We struck this unique balance between my pretty melancholic song and Joel’s upbeat and detailed pop production.”
