With their new single ‘Five More Seconds’, Seafret continue their remarkable return to form, teaming up with the iconic KT Tunstall for a collaboration that feels both unexpected and completely inevitable. The duo deliver a soaring, emotionally charged anthem that showcases the best of both artists: heartfelt lyricism, lush instrumentation, and vocals that hit with genuine impact.
Born from a spontaneous and creatively electric studio session, ‘Five More Seconds’ captures the weight of a moment suspended in time. It’s a song about choice, consequence, and the aching ambiguity of “what if.” Jack Sedman and KT Tunstall’s voices intertwine with unforced chemistry, each bringing emotional gravity and vulnerability, while Harry Draper’s intricate production lends cinematic depth to the track’s soundscape.
The song’s arrangement ebbs and flows like the tides, carrying listeners through moments of quiet reflection and euphoric release. Acoustic textures blend with sweeping strings and thumping percussion, creating a rich sonic sound that feels both intimate and expansive. There’s a Springsteen-like sense of scale and storytelling, grounded in the pair’s mutual love of song writing as emotional excavation. Tunstall’s seasoned presence brings added nuance, and the result is an indie ballad made up of equal parts uplifting and haunting energy.
‘Five More Seconds’ isn’t just a standout single; it’s a career-defining moment for Seafret, and a powerful reminder of KT Tunstall’s continued relevance and emotional reach. A long-awaited collaboration we didn’t know we needed, it lands with authenticity, craft, and the kind of heart that stays with you.
