Rising British-Asian queer creative Seeva has released his emotional new single Twenty-Two from his upcoming EP Afterthoughts.
The cinematic music video for Twenty-Two thoughtfully premiered on 22 February and brought the emotive single to life. The music video stars Seeva and Mirland Bega as on-screen partners A film by Frederick Goff, the video captures a heart-wrenching journey of Seeva’s breakup set against a backdrop of the singer’s painfully honest heartbreak lyricism.
Speaking of Twenty-Two, Seeva described the meaning behind the new single and its accompanying visuals: “The song for me is a great intro to the Afterthoughts EP as a whole.
It’s all about being innocent and naïve in young love and being forced to grow up when it inevitably doesn’t work out. “At the forefront, though, it confronts some issues that I think are pretty unique to being queer – wearing the same clothes, comparing yourself to your partner (“I never asked you why you hold me tighter when I look like the man you hoped you could be”).
