Proclaim finds clarity in the chaos with soulful single “Start Again”
With “Start Again,” Proclaim opens a window to the emotional whiplash that so often goes unsaid featuring LaRussell. In this tender and disarmingly honest song, he conveys the quiet pain that can happen after we’ve apparently “checked all the boxes” in life, and yet something still feels off. What you do when you climb to the top of the “happiness mountain” and discover you’re no happier than when you started. That’s the essence of “Star Again,” a soul-searching song inspired by Proclaim’s mid-life reckoning, where the fulfillment that was promised never quite arrived. It’s a reality that all too many people can relate to, yet few talk about it out loud.
“Star Again” straddles the line between vulnerability and resolve. The production is purposeful and feels grounded, instead allowing the emotional weight of the lyrics to stand at the fore. Proclaim’s singing exudes an urgency that’s not overwrought or disconnected but never sells a line short. You can almost feel the tension here, the confusion of wanting more, the ache of disconnection, and the courage necessary to hit reset. It goes a bit further than the crushing experience of personal crisis it also embodies the struggle of presence when we live in a world of never-ending distraction. Cellphones, media, and the noise of modern life drag us away from ourselves and from one another.
There’s an undercurrent of hope that runs through the song, a feeling that, while going back to the start is scary, it’s also freeing. This is about returning to yourself and realigning with what counts. “Start Again” is for anyone who’s looked around at the life they’ve built and surprised themselves by thinking, “Is this it?” It’s a song for anyone who’s brave enough to say they don’t have all the answers but stubborn enough to just keep looking anyway. In a busy, fast-moving world, “Start Again” is a potent reminder that you are never too old to find your way.

Séhkou expresses a sacred pain through light in “Irreverent Beauty (2 Cor. 12:9)”
“Irreverent Beauty (2 Cor. 12:9)” breathes like a physical being in prayer, shaking, remembering, and slowly coming back to life. Séhkou’s work is a spoken psalm full of sadness, an open wound, and a testament that gets its strength from being weak, not loud.
The work has the seriousness of scripture, the softness of confessional poetry, and the gentle confusion that comes with spiritual healing. This is a softness that comes from years of breaking, fixing, breaking again, and realizing that the Divine is always there in each crack.
Séhkou talks about the paradox of divine support amid life’s scars, and he shows the pain as beautiful, even holy, and the track knows where light always tries to get in. “Irreverent Beauty (2 Cor. 12:9)” is like a map of lasting scars, showing a faith that doesn’t get rid of pain but changes it. Séhkou whispers that he is still becoming, and that is, in a way, more triumphant. In a culture that loves polished stories, this work shows the flaws and treats them as sacred.
