We previously featured SEGANA as they took us on a hedonistic trip with their evocative single, Fever Dreams, so when we heard that the talented duo was back with Mercy, we couldn’t wait to listen and share our experience!
Drawing us in with a boundless synth pop energy, astral ad libs and a dimensional, pulsating beat, SEGANA open Mercy with a textured riser before sharing emotive and metaphorical prose.
We appreciate the pitched vocal design, delivering a pristine level of pop perfection, whilst choral harmonies and a cosmic synth performance captivate us further. The lyrics are playful yet laced with the authenticity at its root that you get from heartfelt and profound songwriting.
What we can count on SEGANA is hooks that resonate with the mainstream and remain in our ear canals all day. We love the relatable nature of how they create, tapping into a sense of nostalgic futurism.
Fans of Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, and Lizzo might be able to connect with Mercy, but there is no doubt that SEGANA are manifesting a sound of their own.
SEGANA is comprised of Blair Djuna and JMap, who are both Sydney-based artists. We can only imagine how invigorating it would be to experience SEGANA live, and in the meantime, we have added Mercy to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream their wider discography including Forget You.
