Biography

🍒🍒🍒 Growing up between London and Los Angeles, Seraphina Simone's songs draw on the syrupy seediness of California glamour and murky, neon-lit London grit. Saturated synths, rolling bass and shimmering guitars form the pulsing backbone to tracks about sugar-coated obsessions with what we can’t have: the addictive highs and crashing lows of perfect smiles and new age malaise, shiny veneers and frantic city sleeplessness, the bubbling undercurrent of modern frustrations and desires. She draws inspirations from synth-led 80s New Wave acts like The Cure, Blondie, Cyndi Lauper and New Order; 60s doo-wop and sultry alt-pop queens Caroline Polachek, Lana Del Rey, Bat For Lashes, Kate Bush, Lorde and BANKS. Seraphina Simone's debut EP will be released via YALA!
