‘Seas of Souls’ is certainly a unique offering; not quite rock, not quite pop, just an expressive and complex blend of elegant pop stylings and guitar-powered euphoria. Call it sophisti-pop or baroque-rock, we don’t care: the record is simply navigating on its own lane, guided by the expert and eclectic artistry of Hays Dowdy.
Hailing from Washington D.C., the enlightened musician crafts an unexpected gem, a concoction of deep melodies and classically-infused arrangements. On this occasion, Dowdy teams up with fellow singer Abby Sevcik, here lending her evocative vocals to an already compelling song. The alchemy with Hays’ luscious, substantial vocal tone works well, creating a contrast that positively supercharges ‘Seas of Souls’.
Speaking about the poignant inspiration behind the track, Dowdy explains: “This song was written about and is dedicated to my late father, John Dowdy, who peacefully passed away on November 2nd, 2023 after a courageous five-year battle with dementia”. A meaningful and introspective gem and a worthy listen for any music lover out there.
