Seafret and KT Tunstall Deliver a Radiant Anthem of Second Chances in ‘Five More Seconds’
UK Duo Seafret has released “Five More Seconds,” and the announcement lands like a flare fired across dusk—urgent, luminous, impossible to ignore. In this upbeat pop-rock reverie, the UK duo enlists the unmistakable KT Tunstall, whose sand-warm grit threads the melody with living fiber. Project and author align: Seafret’s craft, “Five More Seconds,” and Tunstall’s instinct fuse into a single, decisive heartbeat.
Born from a spontaneous studio spark, the track dramatizes the blink where futures fork. Guitars chime like beacons, drums stride with city-night confidence, and the vocals braid tenderness with resolve. The lyric’s plea—“Give me five more seconds,” “something worth fighting for”—is not groveling but grit: a last, disciplined inhale before love either detonates or heals. Tunstall’s harmonies hover like a second conscience, clarifying the stakes without stealing the scene.
What listeners feel is kinetic hope. The chorus lifts like a parachute unfurling, tugging the stomach upward; verses simmer with cinematic close-ups—doorways, shifting posture, the hush after hard words. Even the memories (“you touched my face and saved me”) arrive as Polaroids shaken to life. It’s classic songwriting architecture updated with contemporary oxygen, the kind that pries open a crowded heart.
If there’s a quibble, it’s that the imagery occasionally walks familiar corridors. Yet the performance converts known rooms into fresh air: dynamics breathe, the topline glides, and the bridge tightens the knot before the final release. Seafret and KT Tunstall don’t merely ask for time; they earn it, gifting a radiant, road-worthy anthem for second chances, and hard-won gratitude too.
