Brighton-based singer-songwriter Seany Clarke brings a warm, inviting sound, blending elements of folk, soul, jazz, and pop with laid-back swagger, individual flair, and a retro look that reflects his artistic roots. Inspired by music legends like Curtis Mayfield and Elvis Costello, his earthy style - featuring rhythmic fingerstyle acoustic guitar and intimate vocals - explores the rich tapestry of human emotions and experiences.

Recent Releases 

On July 11th, 2025, Seany Clarke released his anticipated new album Think I’ve Said Too Much – a collection with an acoustic, groovy little swagger, pairing introspective songwriting with subtle, tongue-in-cheek twists. Blending elements of indie-soul with alternative style, Clarke explores the emotional messiness of modern life with both deep sincerity and occasional humour. Every track was written, recorded, produced, arranged, and mixed by Clarke himself in Brighton, UK. He also created the album artwork, underscoring his hands-on approach to the project. To celebrate its release, Clarke will be playing an album launch show on July 24th 2025, bringing his new songs to life on stage.

 

The album was preceded by a string of evocative singles. In March, Don’t You Care Anymore? offered a wry and comical take on lost love. April brought See It in Your Smile, painting a poignant portrait of a friend whose radiant cheer masks quiet sadness. In May, Desperate Dan explored the pain of emotional dependence and the quiet masochism of a man who mistakes attention for affection, delivered with elegant simplicity and mesmerising harmonies. June’s release, Jealousy’s a Moaner (Say Sam), tackled the corrosive effects of unchecked jealousy, blending emotional depth with a tongue-in-cheek edge.

 

These releases follow Clarke’s 2023 album First Aid Kit, a heartfelt project that began with the vibrant single Busy O (Kickin’ Me Some Ass) – a dreamy tale of redemption and revenge that marked a turning point in Clarke’s storytelling and sound.

 

Earlier Works and Themes 

Seany has consistently explored profound themes—addressing everything from smartphone addiction to equality.
