Cincinnati-based modern rock outfit Seabird is back with a new music video for their great song "Don't You Know You're Beautiful," was premiered exclusively with the online home of the popular Seventeen magazine, Seventeen.com last Friday. The hit track was the lead single pulled off of their sophomore album, "Rocks Into Rivers," which releases on January, and garnered the band their first No.1 radio single on the CHR charts in early March, and was also recently used on an episode of CBS's "Ghost Whisperer," the show recently celebrated its 100th episode."Don't You Know You're Beautiful," is a perfect representation of the album's tone and sound. A tale of a woman whose world has shattered to pieces because of her parents' divorce, it is an epic love song meant to remind her and all of us, really, regardless of where we find ourselves in life that we are all far more valuable than we can possibly imagine. Skyscraping guitars and strong vocals from singer Aaron Morgan bring the message home with stark clarity and power. Like this track, most of the album's 12 songs are simultaneously loaded with the sort of beauty and fire that some bands strive for their entire careers, yet rarely achieve.
The band crafts soul-searching, piano-driven, alternative pop and effectively mixes glorious melodies and exciting rock 'n' roll grooves with just the right amount of quirkiness, subtle moments and insightful lyrics to be more than just a good time. Unafraid to give their audience meaty sounds and meaningful content, Seabird is bound to put on a show that will resonate with the audience's emotional side without devolving into emo-style histrionics. Fans of Coldplay, Maroon 5 and the like should be pleased by what they hear.
Usually bands and their labels try to milk their newfound success for all they can before moving on to another record, so it was something of a surprise when Seabird recently released their sophomore album, "Rocks Into Rivers," a mere 18 months after their 2008 debut, "'Til We See the Shore," which received phenomenal national publicity, featured on TV episodes of "Numb3rs"(CBS), "Grey's Anatomy"(ABC) and "Pushing Daisies"(ABC). The quartet makes piano pop songs that are among the best around. It is something of a wonder that more people have not yet latched onto this band, but this quartet is gradually making its presence known on the music scene, and the steady influx of new fans should continue for the foreseeable future.
