Seb Lowe has shared new single ‘One Day To Live’, out today alongside the launch of his UK headline tour.
The track is produced by James Skelly of The Coral and engineered by Chris Taylor, whose credits include Blossoms and Rachel Chinouriri.
It features Lowe’s live band members Kate Couriel on violin and Joel Goodwin on drums, and sits within the hypnotic indie-folk territory that has helped Lowe accumulate over six million monthly streams and 630,000 followers on TikTok.
The song takes a familiar hypothetical and turns it inside out. Rather than treating the question of what you would do with a single day left as an invitation to idealism, Lowe uses it to expose the gap between those with the resources to answer it freely and those for whom any given day is already a matter of survival.
“It is only with immense privilege and resources that someone might be able to see and do all that they want with one day,” he has said of the track.
“In darker truth, many people do actually have one day to live, all of the time. In the belly of a warzone, many final days are tragically spent desperately trying to survive.”
The single follows previous releases including ‘Don’t Say No To Hitler’ and ‘I’m Hateful, I’m Horrible, I Love You’, and arrives as Lowe heads into a heavy run of live dates.
His current UK headline tour runs through April before he joins dark pop artist Sofia Isella for an extensive European run throughout May and June, taking in Hamburg, Berlin, Copenhagen, Oslo, Paris, Amsterdam and more before closing at London’s Roundhouse on 4th June.
Summer festival appearances include his debut Reading Festival set and a slot as special guest to Pulp at Manchester’s Wythenshawe Park.
