In an enchanting fusion of introspective folk melodies and poignant tales of longing and belonging, FRAN LUSTY’s latest single, “Seasalt,” invites listeners on a soul-stirring journey through the tangled emotions of hope and displacement. This captivating folk gem, the fourth track from her EP, is more than just music; it’s an emotional canvas upon which LUSTY masterfully paints the struggle between urban confinement and wild yearning with each delicate note.

Drawing inspiration from a heartrending David Attenborough narrative, “Seasalt” immerses us in the plight of newly hatched sea turtles, tragically drawn towards the city’s glimmering lights instead of the moonlit sea. LUSTY metaphorically weaves this poignant tale into our human experience, capturing the sensation of being trapped in a concrete jungle while the call of the untamed echoes within. The song is a sonic masterpiece that resonates with waves crashing like the ebb and flow of tides and children’s laughter on the shore, cleverly juxtaposing these sounds with the suffocating cityscape.
