“The Culprit” by Sedona
Sedona has retirned with two new singles, “Every Once In A While” and its softer b-side, “The Culprit.” The songs are the first new music since the announcement of her debut record earlier this year, which was accompanied by the tracks, “She’s So Pretty” feat. Claud, and “Best Kept Secret.” Her debut full-length, Getting Into Heaven, arrives on May 23rd.
Says Sedona on “The Culprit” “It’s a sonic reminder to always trust your gut, and to listen to the soft power inside that often warns you when something isn’t right. This song reminds me to bring my heart and soul wherever I go.”
While studying at The New School in Brooklyn, “Writing for me has always been an everyday thing,” she muses, “I’ve realized I often speak in melody, in a way, I think in song. Conversations, dreams, thoughts, feelings, premonitions, eavesdroppings on the subway–one thing leads to another. A story, catch-phrase, or grouping of words will typically start to form in my mind’s eye, then comes a melody. Or vice versa.”
The singer’s full-length debut record explores the complexity of womanhood and how it relates to the pastoral sensuality of nature. Feelings of self-inflection and resurrection are investigated under a flickering porchlight. “Sonically, these songs feel the most true to me,” she explains, “they’re warmer, simpler, and have a lot more guitars.” Fleetwood Mac, Lou Reed, and The Cars have been frontrunners for her musically. Across these songs, no stone is too small to be turned, however blurred the details may feel. And some of that distance is by design – this collection of songs (which Sedona refers to as “mirage pop”) was stitched together between 2020 and 2024, and created in the two places she’s called home – Brooklyn and Los Angeles.
