SÉA BYRNE RELEASES URGENT NEW SINGLE “CATCHING UP” — A PROTEST-POP ANTHEM FOR A WORLD ON THE BRINK

#NewMusicAlert Puerto Vallarta, Mexico — Irish artist Séa Byrne returns with a fierce and timely new single, “Catching Up,” out now on all major streaming platforms. Blending sharp lyrical protest with a driving pop beat, “Catching Up” issues a bold call to action on the climate crisis, mass extinction, and the numbing effects of social apathy.

Musically, the track blends dark, psychedelic guitars with immersive atmospheres and is driven by Byrne’s powerful, emotionally charged vocal performance. With serene yet intense guitar textures and strong energy, “Catching Up”continues Byrne’s signature sound—a fusion of evocative storytelling and compelling instrumentation.

The single was co-produced by Daniel Aceves in Guadalajara and Séa Byrne, and mixed and mastered by Carlos “Charlie” Santana in Puerto Vallarta, contributing to its rich and dynamic sound.

With lines like “Watch the species as they drop / Have we lost all sense of stop?” and “Time is catching up, is catching up, oh yeah,” Byrne delivers a powerful wake-up call that demands attention—not just from listeners, but from the systems that have enabled global neglect.

“There comes a time when you have to say enough is enough,” says Byrne. “This song is that moment. It’s meant to shake people, to energise them, and to amplify the urgency we’re all feeling but struggling to express.”

The track follows a series of recent performances, including a live appearance on TVMar Puerto Vallarta’s Hoy en Aquí en el 10, where he performed both “Liberation” and “Huracán.” Known for his genre-blending sound and outspoken voice, Séa Byrne continues to push boundaries, merging music and activism in a way that feels both personal and political.

“Catching Up” is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and all major streaming platforms. A lyric video is also available on YouTube.

SEA BYRNE LANZA SU NUEVO SENCILLO URGENTE “CATCHING UP” – UN HIMNO DE PROTESTA POP PARA UN MUNDO AL BORDE DEL ABISMO

Puerto Vallarta, México – El artista irlandés Séa Byrne regresa con un sencillo fuerte y oportuno, “Catching Up”, disponible ahora en todas las principales plataformas de streaming. Combinando una protesta lírica afilada con un ritmo pop dinámico, “Catching Up” lanza un llamado contundente a la acción sobre la crisis climática, la extinción masiva y la apatía social paralizante.

Musicalmente, la canción fusiona guitarras oscuras y psicodélicas con atmósferas inmersivas, impulsadas por la poderosa y emotiva interpretación vocal de Byrne. Con texturas de guitarra serenas pero intensas y una energía fuerte, “Catching Up” continúa con el sonido característico de Byrne: una mezcla de narrativa evocadora e instrumentación talentosa.

El sencillo fue coproducido por Daniel Aceves en Guadalajara y Séa Byrne, y mezclado y masterizado por Carlos “Charlie” Santana en Puerto Vallarta, contribuyendo a un sonido rico y dinámico.

Con líneas como “Observa cómo las especies caen / ¿Hemos perdido todo sentido de parar?” y “El tiempo se está acercando, se está acercando, oh sí”, Byrne ofrece un llamado poderoso que exige atención, no solo de los oyentes, sino de los sistemas que han permitido esta negligencia global.

“Llega un momento en que tienes que decir basta,” dice Byrne. “Esta canción es ese momento. Está hecha para sacudir a la gente, energizarlos y amplificar la urgencia que todos sentimos pero que a veces nos cuesta expresar.”

La canción sigue una serie de presentaciones recientes, incluyendo una aparición en vivo en el programa Hoy en Aquí en el 10 de TVMar Puerto Vallarta, donde interpretó “Liberation” y “Huracán.” Reconocido por su sonido que mezcla géneros y su voz franca, Séa Byrne continúa rompiendo barreras, uniendo música y activismo de manera personal y política.

“Catching Up” ya está disponible en Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube y todas las principales plataformas de streaming.

**FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE**

**Séa Byrne Drops Fierce New Single “Liberation” – A Goth Rock Anthem**

#NewMusicAlert *Liberation* a New Release by Séa Byrne 28 March 2028

Séa Byrne drops his fierce new single, “Liberation,” on March 28, 2025, blending goth, industrial, and alt-rock to deliver a powerful message of resistance. The track urges listeners to confront their fears, reclaim their peace, and stand up to oppression. With bold lyrics like “For once in your life, put up a fight” and the empowering chant “I rebella,” it calls for self-liberation and defiance against bullies, both personal and societal.

Produced by Daniel Aceves at Sonorama Records in Guadalajara, Mexico, and mixed/mastered by Carlos “Charlie” Santana at Prosantana in Puerto Vallarta, “Liberation” marks a new departure from Séa’s earlier soulful “tropical Indie” sound, introducing a bold new direction with dark, atmospheric layers and raw energy.

“Liberation” is the first in a series of tracks designed to inspire action and challenge oppressive forces. In a time when many artists have stepped back from speaking out on social issues, “Liberation” reminds us to stand up for our rights and fight for freedom. It’s a powerful shift from the healing themes of his debut album Blue Skies, igniting a new era of protest.

“Liberation” is out now on all streaming platforms.
