In his fourth official music video, Irish artist Séa Byrne expands his visual and sonic universe with “Catching Up,” a haunting, heartfelt call to action filmed in the striking surroundings of Panama City. From the ruins of ancient civilizations to the shadows of modern skyscrapers, the video draws stark contrasts between past, present, and the fragile thread of our shared future.
Directed by Julián Becerra and edited by Séa himself, the May 2025 shoot uses movement, protest, and poetic imagery to bring the song’s urgency into focus. Séa doesn’t just sing about change — he enacts it, weaving through stone and steel, moving with purpose through a city that reflects both what we’ve built and what’s at risk.
“Catching Up” is a sonic evolution too. Co-produced by Daniel Aceves at Sonorama Records in Guadalajara and mastered by Carlos “Charlie” Santana in Puerto Vallarta, the track breaks from the sun-soaked tropical indie of “Blue Skies,” veering into darker, more urgent territory. The message? We’re running out of time.
The video’s release deepens Séa Byrne’s international roots while speaking to truly global issues: the biodiversity crisis, climate collapse, inequality, injustice, and the ever-present specter of war. But at its core, “Catching Up” is a protest rooted in peace — a quiet yet resolute refusal to look away.
