You may know Sedona as the lead singer of Drugdealer. Now the Los Angeles based singer is set to release her debut solo album and has released a new single. "Best Kept Secret" is so close to being a standard singer-songwriter release, but Sedona veers off into a slightly different direction with her sound. It's a mixture of Americana, indie rock, and possibly some soul. There's also a certain level of a soft rock sound, all wrapped up in Sedona's mesmerizing vocals. I'm hearing some elements of Jenny Lewis, Fiona Apple, and maybe some Portishead in "Best Kept Secret." This song is the pinnacle of pop focused Americana, and it's sure to suck in listeners practically as soon as it starts.
Sedona says of her new single:
“Music has always been the world’s most honest mirror – revealing us to ourselves. Today, songs often feel rushed, much like our way of living. We’re constantly scrolling and moving without actually connecting.” She adds, “I’m trying to slow down and hang out for a while. I wanna drink a strawberry milkshake on a friend’s porch and listen to the radio…to sit down and stay a while. We should practice speaking from the heart. That’s what ‘Best Kept Secret’ is all about – those small, freeing moments, like washing someone-you-love’s face in the morning sun.”
You can watch the video for "Best Kept Secret" below. Getting Into Heaven is due out May 23, and is available for pre-order through Bandcamp.
