Seth Glier ~ Somebody Break My Heart

Recording artist and Grammy® nominee Seth Glier has just released a new music video for "Somebody Break My Heart" from his new album The Coronation via MPress Records . Written about the healing powers of water through his own experience with the waters of Key West, Florida, the song captures the dreamy qualities of being beneath the surface with its warm elegance and creative sampling.

"Somebody Break My Heart" features instruments like the Plethora (waterphone), samples of water, and crushed sand that tie in with the song’s theme, while the mesmerizing visuals follow a graceful aquatic dancer through the deep oceans and above magnificent reefs for a most calming, lucid experience The steady, orchestral arrangements contribute to the emotive power of the song.

Seth says of the video, "I knew I wanted water and specially movement through water as the predominate story telling aspect to the video. I reached out to this free diver on Instagram, Gabriel Forestieri, and shared with him what inspired the song and that I’d love to have him consider making a music video for it. About three days later he emailed me back with a rough cut of footage he shot in Sicily. We made a few rounds of edits back and forth but this video sort of just happened without any discussion. We clearly both understood the feeling well, had a deep reverence for water, and working with Gabriel felt more like surfing the energy of an idea than making a music video. I’m eternally grateful and connected to Gabriel now."

The Coronation is Glier’s sixth album on MPress Records, and is a beautiful and powerful collection that explores an expansive range of musical styles and topics from the personal to the political. A Grammy®-nominated singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist from Western Massachusetts, Glier has also won five Independent Music Awards. NPR describes his voice as “otherworldly” while praising him as “an engaging performer and storyteller.” His critically acclaimed, emotionally dense catalog of work often draws upon traditional roots music, experimental instrumentation, and moody atmospheres that result in soulfully intelligent stories that can alternately fight the power and break your heart. 

(Glier) merges genres seamlessly, with universal songs about falling in and out of love and social action that capture a songwriter and performer at the peak of his young abilities. – Paste Magazine

"Glier is a man of many talents. A singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, he’s known for his emotive soundscapes and masterful songwriting. Exposing vulnerability in a deeply courageous way, his work takes you on an impassioned journey of heart and honesty" – Ear Milk

"With a bubbling harmonic bed, a dynamic arrangement and a positively uplifting, vocal-led melody, the single ("The Coronation") comes to life, revealing Glier’s knack for insightful, idealist song-craft...imagination is a powerful thing – Glier is perfecting the art of employing it for good." – American Songwriter
