The Filipino bedroom R&B artist, Michael Seyer, releases his newest song, “Heaven Only Knows” from his upcoming EP, _Nostalgia_. Seyer was born in the Philippines and raised in Gardena, a suburb of Los Angeles. His new EP, _Nostalgia_, sets out to create songs that are both fresh and timeless. Speaking of his upcoming release of “Heaven Only Knows,” Michael Seyer stated “This song is very special to me for a lot of reasons \[…\] This song was actually a poem I wrote before anything else and when I couldn’t find any words, I revisited my old poetry and found a poem, “I Don’t Believe in Heaven,” and adapted it for the song”. Seyer drew a variety of inspiration for this song: “a lot of different types of Bossa Nova inspired this song \[…\] but also other artists like Masayoshi Takanaka and Yukata”. Influences such as Japanese city pop, Brazilian boogie, and even the song his parents would karaoke to, helped create the unique style of Seyer’s musical talent. Listen to “Heaven Only Knows” below:
