The appetite for a tryst, the themes of a simpler and unserious 80s, and the quick fixing of some short-lived kissing, alongside the cheekiness of girlhood attraction is the baseline of Sedona’s new single “7 Minutes in Heaven”. We know the feeling and even reminisce on it from time to time. The talks of bedroom fantasies, and yearning to grant some action for the sake of “copping a feel” as Sedona claims “no big deal” is the turnaround that the year as we know it has given to the the girls. Singles such as this, are the callouts for belting in the shower and demonstrating the rawness of being a girl.

Sedona, the face of unapologetic retro-loft-pop has widely stretched her celestial riffs along the coast of Los Angeles, bringing in a need to physically sway back and forth through melody alone. Namely, her 2020 track “No Reply From Hollywood” evokes that physical need to feel. She’s nostalgically ridden, and inducement fulfilled from track to track. 7 Minutes in Heaven is a reflection of the chase that we sometimes seek with far too much gravity. With Playfulness in mind, Sedona is the mediated character on our shoulders whispering the little nothings of "just chill out". It's a refresher more than anything. 

Embodying the girl named Heaven in the single's music video, Sedona's approach is larger than the late-night hotline itself. She encourages the listener to treat 7 Minutes in Heaven as the calm before the storm, teasing the inevitable rollout of her soon-to-be album with a sequential streak of accompanying music videos. To be released at a time that feels right will be her short-form sci-fi erotica skits. Excitement-filled one would call the teaser, Sedona encourages belting, the act of driving down Sunset, and running frantic with the closest girlfriends you have. It's about letting loose.

7 Minutes in Heaven Out now.
