Philadelphia-based rock band Soraia, consisting of ZouZou Mansour (lead vocals), Travis Smith (bass), and Brianna Sig (drums), announced their third studio album “Bloom” would be released on October 28, 2022.
From the album, the band unveiled a new song “I Seek Fire” on August 19, 2022.
The track was written by Soraia Mansour and Travis Smith. Produced by Geoff Sanoff.
ZouZou Mansour said of the song, “The original idea behind 'I Seek Fire' came from reading a Rumi quote: 'Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.' A mix of that personal desire plus a healthy dose of romantic and tragic love ideas floating through my head created the backdrop for the lyrical story of the song. As soon as I heard the cutting, staccato riff co-writer Travis Smith played for me, I knew I had to capture that exquisite contradiction: enthralling, obsessive passion usually comes with that tragic cut. The music brought the lyrics to life in this one more than most other songs we've written together.”- The new album comprises 10-track. It is their first album in two years since the 2020 album “Dig Your Roots”.
ZouZou Mansour said of the album, “Ultimately, our new album is about rising above all of the slights, injuries, and traumas we've all experienced - personally and together - and positioning ourselves into a new place we've chosen. A place with renewed courage and vitality. We realize we are all deserving of a life driven by our choices and power.” -
