Boo Seeka Drops “Come With Me” Ahead of Album Release and Tour

Boo Seeka has just released his hypnotic new single “Come With Me,” and I just know you’re going to love it. It’s such a cool slow burner, the kind of song that sneaks up on you as it builds so beautifully. It’s got a great chill vibe that makes me think of kicking back with drinks and friends by a pool or on some happening rooftop bar.

“Come With Me” will feature on Boo Seeka’s new album Midnight Highlight, which drops on January 19.

“Midnight Highlight means a new chapter has been written for me personally, and I can’t wait to go share it with people who want to be part of it,” Boo Seeka said. “I’m not saying we are reinventing the wheel here, but I don’t think anyone can say we sound exactly like any other artist, which is what I think any creative person should strive for. Each album (and each track to be honest) will change, and we are not going to put ourselves in a box for the years to come. What sounds good to us in that moment is what we write and record!”

After playing a bunch of summer festivals and supporting Boy and Bear around Europe and the United Kingdom, Boo Seeka will head out on a massive Aussie tour. I know that sounds like ages away, but the shows are in such small venues I’d probably grab my tickets now while you still can.

Boo Seeka Drops Club Banger “Are You All In?”

Is it too early in the week for club music? I’m not sure, but I can’t wait any longer to share Boo Seeka’s new track “Are You All In?” with you. If you need to hang on to your weekend vibes just a little bit longer, this one’s for you.

“‘Are You All In?’ for me is a continued step into a new era of Boo Seeka. In the previous few years, I’ve probably had an emphasis on creating dance music, but looking forward to this new project, I’m really leaning into a sound that is really effortless, and isn’t forced into any sort of box or genre. I love rock, I love folk, I love dance, so why not take elements of them all and see how it goes,” Boo Seeka explained.

Boo Seeka also just signed an international deal with Kygo’s Palm Tree Records, so worldwide domination is surely the next step.

“We’re thrilled to be working with Boo Seeka who has made an amazing impact in his home country, and we look forward to amplifying his vision on a global level,” said Palm Tree Records representative, David Rishty. “His sound touches so many different genres and styles of music, you can’t help but want to be a part of what he’s building. No limits, no boundaries, we’re here for all of it.”

Boo Seeka has just completed a massive regional tour, but he’s not going to let the grass grow under his feet. He’ll be back on the road next month supporting Boy & Bear on their upcoming shows. After signing that international deal, fans should probably take every opportunity to see Boo Seeka close to home. Here are all the dates you need:

16 June 2023 – Palais Theatre, Naarm/Melbourne
17 June 2023 – The Fortitude Music Hall, Meeanjin/Brisbane
30 June 2023 – Enmore Theatre, Eora/Sydney
14 July 2023 – Perth Concert Hall, Boorloo/Perth
15 July 2023 – Hindley Street Music Hall, Tartanya/Adelaide

Boo Seeka Drops Awesome New Dance Track, “Real”

It’s an exciting couple of months for Boo Seeka fans. He’s just dropped a killer new single “Real”, and his new album and tour supporting Hayden James are mere weeks away.

“’Real’ is definitely one of my favourites on the record for me and has so many different messages embedded in the meaning. I wrote this song at a bit of a low point, with the idea of creating a song that can be a bit of a sing-a-long wherever the listener may be,” Boo Seeka explained. “My album, Between The Head & the Heart, is twelve separate messages that I wrote throughout the COVID period. I really needed to do this for myself, and it has undoubtedly helped me get through the last 12 months. I never want to give away the exact message or meaning of why I wrote a song, firstly, because some things are incredibly specific and personal, but mainly, I love the idea of a listener creating their own meaning to the track. That’s the most important thing about art and music to me.”

Between The Head & the Heart drops on June 30. That’ll give fans a few weeks to familiarise themselves with the new material before Boo Seeka joins Hayden James on his Aussie tour in August.

12 August 2022 – Fortitude Music Hall, Brisbane
19 August 2022 – John Cain Arena, Melbourne
20 August 2022 – Thebarton Theatre, Adelaide
27 August 2022 – Redhill Auditorium, Perth
3 September 2022 – Hordern Pavilion, Sydney

Boo Seeka Strips Sound Back With “Tripwire”

Boo Seeka has dropped a very un-Boo Seeka track, and I love it! The acoustic-driven “Tripwire” is such a departure from the act’s electronic party numbers, but I think it might just be what most of us need in our lives right now. The song mourns the loss of normalcy so many of us are experiencing right now.

“The songwriting for Tripwire is really direct, I’m wearing my heart on my sleeve with this one,” Boo explained. “I realised I was writing about myself, and the stuff I was going through, which was hitting me pretty hard if I’m being honest. Writing on an acoustic guitar has always been a part of my process and usually, it would just be used to figure out the chords and structure of the song, and then it would be built into an electronic track. With ‘Tripwire,’ we used the same template, but nothing we built sonically got close to the emotion, and the rawness of the acoustic version. It’s super different to the typical Boo Seeka sound, but the diversity of the upcoming album is something I’m very proud of, and releasing it as the first single is the perfect way to kick it off”.

Covid also got in the way of Boo’s music video plans, but he was not to be deterred.

“Originally I was going to fly to WA to shoot this clip but Covid once again got in the way. My manager Cohen and his mate, Lachlan Ross (of production company Halves and Quarters) set out with Meg Charnaud (actor) on a last-minute adventure to shoot the clip on a farm close to Margaret River, Western Australia. Lachy is the mastermind behind the whole thing, and I love the beauty of it. It’s a simple yet effective clip capturing the emotion of trying to run away from all things negative. Something myself and everyone around me is going through right now.”

If you’re craving a little bit of normal, catch Boo Seeka on The Trip tour. Some shows are being rescheduled given all the current COVID dramas, but at this stage, the following gigs are going ahead as planned.

“When people come to a Boo Seeka live show, I really want to put on a night where people can leave their troubles at home, smile, and just have a whole heap of fun,” Boo said. Leave your troubles behind at the following shows.

25 September 2021 – The Triffid, Brisbane
2 October 2021 – Republic Bar, Hobart
3 October 2021 – The Royal Oak, Launceston
16 October 2021 – Magnet House, Perth

Boo Seeka and Golding Join Forces for “Don’t Waste Your Love”

Boo Seeka has teamed up with Golding for “Don’t Waste Your Love,” a guaranteed floor-filler that’ll get you geared up for the weekend ahead. These two Aussie acts are both at the top of their game and it shows in this killer collaboration. It’s got such an infectious upbeat vibe, but don’t miss the lyrics which deal with some pretty heavy stuff.

“’Don’t Waste Your Love’ came about when I was going through a tough time. I was experiencing this uncomfortable anxiety that made me feel detached from both my surroundings and my emotions,” explained Jay from Golding. “Not being able to feel the love of my family around me created a shocking, yet somehow empty feeling, to the point where it was almost a physical numbness.”

The lyrics pack a real emotional punch, but the catchy melody ensures it doesn’t weigh you down. This is dance music with heart, and I am here for it.

We’re going to hear plenty more from these guys this year, with Boo Seeka working on a new album and an EP on the way for Golding. When asked whether we might see them sharing a stage, Golding said “There could be a few appearances during some Boo Seeka sets … maybe.” It sounds like whatever happens, there are exciting times ahead!
