FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: GUADALAJARA, MÉXICO — 31 JULY 2026

Guadalajara, México. 31 July 2026. Be Free, the new single from Irish singer-songwriter Séa Byrne, is a summer song about sticking together. The sun comes back. So do they.

He asks for a lot in it: freedom, feeling, survival, the pure life, second chances and, while he’s at it, cash advances. Leaving gets floated twice, and twice gets the same answer: we could, but why? There’s nothing else better than this love to try.

Then the chorus, where he owns up. Instigator, generator, dominator, human nature. A generous self-assessment, delivered with a grin. And after each one, the same promise: but I’ll see you, sooner or later. The sun will return. Fun always stays. And he spends the last word on the one he loves: be free who you want to be.

“They say if you love someone, set them free. You accept your own faults first, then theirs, and then they accept yours. What you get out the far side of that is a freedom you can’t get on your own.”

– Séa Byrne, 2026

Be Free arrives ahead of Scorched Earth, Byrne’s second album. Produced by Daniel Aceves. Mixed and mastered by Carlos “Charlie” Santana.

Byrne’s recent singles Liberation and What You Lost both reached #1 on the AltQ Top 20. His May release Hope in Your Heart, inspired by Palestinian musician Ahmed Muin Abu Amsha, continues to raise funds for Save the Children.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: GUADALAJARA, MÉXICO — 01 May 2026

Séa Byrne Releases “Hope in Your Heart” — A Three-Act Indie Rock Anthem Inspired to Completion by the Story of Palestinian Musician Ahmed Abu Amsha, In Aid of Save the Children.

Irish artist Séa Byrne releases powerful new single challenging global indifference — a song that sat unfinished until the story of one man on a beach in Gaza provided its missing message of hope. Available now on all platforms, with Bandcamp purchases going to Save the Children.

Irish indie rock artist Séa Byrne today releases “Hope in Your Heart”, a three-act anthem that moves from the rubble of a warzone through a biting satirical portrait of western indifference, to a soaring rallying cry for musicians everywhere. The single is available on all major streaming platforms and as a pay-what-you-want download at seabyrne.bandcamp.com/track/hope-in-your-heart, with all Bandcamp purchases going to Save the Children.

The song’s origin is as extraordinary as its subject matter. Byrne began writing “Hope in Your Heart” in Guadalajara, México, overwhelmed by the relentless tide of global conflict, war crimes, and human suffering playing out on screens across the world. The first two sections took shape quickly — Act One placing the listener inside the terror of a warzone; Act Two, delivered as darkly satirical spoken word, skewering a billionaire class hoarding wealth while wars burn and a western world scrolling past destruction to place another online order. But the song stalled. It had truth. It had anger. What it could not find was hope.

That changed the day Byrne saw Ahmed Abu Amsha on television. It wasn’t Ahmed who completed the song — it was his story. Watching him play guitar and teach music to children on that beach, Byrne found what the song had been searching for: hope.

A Palestinian musician, composer, and music educator, Abu Amsha is the founder of Gaza Birds Singing — a group of displaced children and teachers who have continued making music throughout the conflict in Gaza. Displaced over ten times since October 2023, his two homes and recording studio destroyed, Abu Amsha has been teaching music to children and adults on a beach in Nuseirat beneath a parachute canopy fashioned from aid-drop materials, using instruments built from salvaged parts — guitar strings made from bicycle cables, flutes fashioned from plastic pipes.

His story was the hope the song had been searching for. Act Three was written and completed that same day.

“With your voice and guitar, yeah you made a difference with your commitment.”

“Hope In Your Heart” is ultimately a global call: that in a fractured world, the most revolutionary act is to get back up, keep playing, keep teaching, and bring peace and love back into the world. Produced and mixed in México by Daniel Aceves and Carlos “Charlie” Santana.

Here’s to all the musicians out there — it’s time for us to bring back hope.

ABOUT SÉA BYRNE

Séa Byrne is an Irish indie rock artist based in Guadalajara, México, who writes from the fault lines — where personal grief meets global crisis, where dark satire meets stubborn hope. Produced and mixed in México by Daniel Aceves and Carlos “Charlie” Santana, “Hope In Your Heart” is a song that almost didn’t get finished — and was completed in a single day when the story of Palestinian musician Ahmed Abu Amsha provided its missing message of hope. seabyrne.com

ABOUT AHMED ABU AMSHA

Ahmed Abu Amsha is a Palestinian musician, composer, and music educator based in Gaza.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Guadalajara, México — 13 February 2026

Irish artist Séa Byrne unveils his 16th single and 24th release overall, Clayface — an explosive, freeform alt-rock anthem that confronts the pessimism and nihilism creeping through modern society and blasts through it with raw, transformative energy.

Released Friday, February 13, 2026 as Byrne’s first offering of the new year, Clayface is the fifth track in his bold sonic reinvention since debut album Blue Skies. Where that record showcased tropical indie warmth, Byrne has evolved into edgier alt-rock territory — fully coming into his own with a second album on the horizon that promises to be his true Empire Strikes Back moment.

Produced by @dan_electro_x (Daniel Acevedo) in Guadalajara and co-produced, mixed and mastered by @prosantana.mx (Carlos “Charlie” Santana) in Puerto Vallarta, México, the track abandons verse-chorus structure for stream-of-consciousness urgency — Byrne’s own Ulysses.

“We’re surrounded by bitterness and spite — people desperate for safe spaces to escape the exhausting performance of saving face,” says Byrne. “Music has been my lifeline through those rough moments and impossible people. Clayface is about breaking through that darkness to reach something true: when music becomes your light, there’s nothing in this world you can’t handle. That’s not optimism — that’s survival transformed into strength.”

With driving drums and pulsing guitars, the track builds into a relentless mantra before detonating into cathartic release. It’s visceral alt-rock at its most uncompromising — proving that sonic fury and emotional honesty can shatter even the heaviest atmosphere of collective disillusionment.

Recommended for fans of Radiohead, IDLES, James Blake, and Fontaines D.C. Clayface is available to download and stream from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Bandcamp, and all major platforms.

I’m proud to announce my new single What You Lost will be released on August 1, 2025.

This one’s about taking your power back.

It’s for anyone who’s ever had to rebuild themselves after being silenced, shamed, or diminished. What You Lost moves through pain—not to dwell in it, but to reclaim what was taken. Voice. Confidence. Truth. It’s about naming the damage, standing in the light of it, and walking forward with nothing hidden.

“Make them wade through the pain that they caused you /
They can’t save you the pain that they gave /
Take back what you lost”

What You Lost – Séa Byrne, 2025

Lyrically it’s a reckoning—raw, rhythmic, layered with resolve. There’s fire in it. But there’s healing too. The song unfolds from reflection to reclamation, showing that change isn’t always soft—it can be bold, even confrontational.

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

PUERTO VALLARTA, MÉXICO — 28 MARCH 2025

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

#NewMusicAlert

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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Séa Byrne Introduces Tropical Indie in New Album, Blue Skies
A Fusion of Irish Singer-Songwriting and Latin Rhythms for an Uplifting Musical Journey

Summary

Puerto Vallarta, 06 December 2024 – Séa Byrne, the pioneering Tropical Indie artist, has released his highly anticipated new album, Blue Skies, on 06 December 2024 via DistroKid. With this album, Séa takes listeners on a bold, uplifting musical journey that blends the soulful storytelling of traditional Irish singer-songwriter roots with the vibrant rhythms and tropical energy of Latin American music. Blue Skies introduces a fresh genre, Tropical Indie, and promises to inspire, heal, and transport listeners into an idealised tropical world.

Blue Skies Available on Music Platforms

Blue Skies – The Album is available for streaming and download from the usual online music platforms.

Spotify Apple Music Amazon You Tube Music Tidal

More about Blue Skies

“With Blue Skies, I wanted to create something that both inspires and uplifts. It’s not just about overcoming personal struggles, but about embracing the optimism of life — no matter the challenges we face,” says Séa. “I’ve always believed that music can heal, and that’s exactly what this album aims to do. It’s a celebration of strength, of finding hope even in the darkest moments.”

Produced and mixed in the sun-soaked landscapes of Mexico and Colombia, Blue Skies is a tribute to the power of the human spirit and the possibility of transformation. The album’s rich Latin beats, tropical sounds, and nature-inspired lyrics create an immersive listening experience that contrasts the complexities of modern life. Rather than dwelling on struggles, Blue Skies offers an escape into a world of possibility, empowering listeners to embrace their potential and find peace within themselves.

As Séa shares, “Blue Skies isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a journey. A journey of personal growth.”

From the soaring, anthemic opener “Huracán” to the intimate, stripped-back closing track, “That’s Why I Love You” each song offers a unique window into the artist’s inner world, drawing listeners into a deeply personal and universal journey.

Drawing from diverse influences, including Latin rhythms, folk traditions, and uplifting melodies, Blue Skies features songs that explore themes of overcoming adversity, discovering one’s voice, and embracing positivity. With its infectious energy and feel-good vibes, the album is a reminder that even in challenging times, we can create our own paradise — both in the world and within ourselves.

An Expert Team

Producer IFO and mixing engineer Carlos “Charlie” Santana have been key collaborators in shaping Séa Byrne’s sound. Séa’s partnership with IFO, a Colombian producer, began five years ago with the track “That’s Why I Love You.” Their ongoing collaboration has been instrumental in incorporating Latin rhythms and Colombian textures into Séa’s evolving musical style.

Since 2023, Séa has worked closely with Carlos “Charlie” Santana, a mixing engineer based in Puerto Vallarta, to refine the sound of Blue Skies. Charlie’s expert touch in remixing and remastering the tracks helped create a seamless blend of indie, soul, and tropical influences, adding warmth and depth to the final product. Together, IFO and Charlie have been essential in crafting an album that blends genres while staying true to Séa’s emotional storytelling and musical vision.

Key Tracks:

  • “Huracán”
    Written over two years spent living through the hurricanes of Mexico, this track reflects Séa Byrne’s personal journey of resilience in the face of overwhelming natural forces. With its driving rhythms and sweeping melodies, “Huracán” encourages listeners to weather life’s storms and find peace on the other side. The song is an homage to the local terrain, nature, and the ancient cultures that have withstood nature’s forces for centuries. Featuring both English and Spanish lyrics, it blends the intensity of tropical storms with a message of hope and strength.
    • “Strong emotional presence” — Folk Rock Alchemist
  • “Blue Skies”
    The title track of the album, “Blue Skies” carries a critical message about the climate and biodiversity crises we face today. In a world increasingly dominated by corruption and greed, the song calls for collective creativity and action to change the world for the better. With its soaring melodies and reflective lyrics, the track acknowledges the devastation of our planet but ends with a hopeful message: Blue Skies will return, and we must remain hopeful in the face of adversity. The song is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always potential for positive change.
    • “An incredibly unique vibe.” — Independent Spirits
  • “Loves of Your Lives”
    A deeply personal ode to Séa Byrne’s parents, this track explores a sweeter, more intimate side of his songwriting. Celebrating the enduring love and support of the people who shape and guide us, “Loves of Your Lives” is a heartfelt tribute to the loves that stay with us forever and help us navigate life’s challenges. With tender lyrics and warm, soothing melodies, it’s a song that reminds us of the importance of the relationships that sustain us through thick and thin.
    • “Lovely songwriting.” — The Music & Fashion Blog
  • “Fortune”
    A joyful, upbeat love song that perfectly captures the Latin spirit of romance and passion. “Fortune” expresses the feeling of being truly lucky to have found a special love and conveys deep gratitude to the universe for such a gift. With its infectious rhythm and heartfelt lyrics, the track radiates warmth and positivity, celebrating the magic of love and the joy of being with someone who makes you feel whole.

By on

In 2019 my life fell apart. My sweet dear Mum Bridie, passed away after 5 years of illness. Her brightness left the world and I was left in darkness. They say “life goes on” but I thought, “how does it — go on?” My world had changed irreparably and my dreams and hopes seemed futile and pointless in comparison to the loss I felt.   

I remember being in the midst of shock and grief when Julián, my husband, encouraged me to take a trip – to relax, and take my mind off things. So, quite randomly, and I don’t remember why, I flew to Colombia for a month and ended up learning Spanish in Cartagena, a beautiful city on the Caribbean coast. It was during this time I reflected upon life and took stock. 

I started singing at the age of 8. I was on a scholarship for voice with the Leinster School of Music in Dublin until I was 16. Then I started playing guitar and writing my first songs. However, even though I was immersed in music, I kept my musical side to myself. I started a career in design and music was relegated to a pastime.

The loss of my Mum, the finality and its ramifications randomly propelled me back to my music. As “The Smiths” song goes “shyness is nice but it can stop you from doing all the things you want to.” I finally decided to release my music to the world. I had written and home recorded 2 full albums of material over the years – but both “Life Begins” and “Survival” remained on my shelf, like unpublished relics, hidden from the world. In my mind they were Acts 1 and 2 of a trilogy and I was compiling a 3rd album – which was going to be the finale!

As I sat in my rented apartment doing my Spanish homework, making pancakes and thinking about filling the void I decided to work on releasing my 1st song! On a whim I reached out to a local Colombian producer called IFO. We recorded *That’s Why I Love You.* a song with a happy message of love. I had realised that life is tough so I wanted to contribute something positive to the world. If I was to share my music – it should be honest and heartfelt. 

So I continued working with IFO, remotely from Ireland, working on many songs together. I learned the craft of recording music, working with many talented people (through a global pandemic). I began to believe in myself as an artist, to share vulnerability and trust in others to help me actualise my vision.

My songs have been mixed and mastered by Charles Connolly in the UK and Thomas Juth in Sweden. In 2022 I moved to Puerto Vallarta in México and met Carllos Charlie Santana – who was a godsend. Together we worked over the course of a year finalising the album – he understood my “Tropical Indie” sound and elevated it, adding delicious refinements and we even created vignettes that capture the spirit of Latin American life.

So my soul searching turned out to be the beginning of an album and a 5 year journey transpired – which resulted in a collection of 14 songs and vignettes which I call *Blue Skies.* This album is an antidote to melancholy, a tonic for the lost and lonely, a movement towards self belief, and a thank you to all that have helped me along the way (and there have been many).

Overall the album brings a message of hope and love and the optimistic side of life that Bridie instilled in me – and to whom I dedicate this album. Gracias de corazón a Julián – who has been my unofficial manager: listening to countless demos, guiding me on which songs to select for release and enduring hours of me focusing on living my dream.

This journey has helped me overcome my darkest times and my deepest fears, using my intuition over my reason – to find a place of tropical healing. I hope you get some of this value from the album too. Ultimately we must not stagnate, we must move forward with our best memories and for sure blue skies will come again.

Un cordial saludo. Séa Byrne. Guadalajara, México. 03 December 2024
