Yorkshire duo Seafret unveil heartfelt new single "Love In Reverse" - the follow-up to their BBC Radio 2 A-listed single "Five More Seconds" with KT Tunstall
Fresh off the back of a major breakthrough moment with their KT Tunstall collaboration “Five More Seconds”, which landed on the BBC Radio 2 A-list, Absolute Radio’s Track of the Week, and the Absolute 20s B-list, Seafret return with ‘Love In Reverse’, a classic dose of heartache, honesty, and lyrical finesse, out 29th August via Nettwerk.
True to form, “Love In Reverse” finds the Bridlington duo doing what they do best; wrapping raw emotional weight in soaring melodies and open-hearted lyricism. It’s a song about trying to salvage the remains of a ruined relationship, knowing full well the damage is done… but aching to go back anyway.
“We loved writing this song,” Seafret share. “It’s about a relationship that’s ended in ruins and admitting you’d go to hell and back if it meant you could bring even a tiny part of it back to life. A true Seafret style song!”
Written with the cinematic flair and emotional immediacy that have made them beloved across the globe, “Love In Reverse” continues a creative rebirth for Seafret, who are riding a new wave of acclaim and momentum.

10 years since the release of their hit single ‘Atlantis’, Yorkshire duo Seafret - aka best friends and musical co-conspirators Jack Sedman and Harry Draper - are heading into 2025 as a band reborn. Having watched the epic emotional catharsis of that single gain a whole new lease of life over the past three years, re-entering the cultural conversation via a viral TikTok moment that then snowballed into more than a billion streams, the band have never had more eyes on them, and more fans awaiting their next moves.
A decade into their career, it’s a situation that neither musician could have predicted. “You can’t compute those numbers,” says Draper. “We’re incredibly proud, but you can’t get your head round it. A million, maybe, but not a billion…” Yet while the stats themselves might be too fantastical for either of these two eternally grounded Northerners to fully reconcile, the fire it’s lit in them is far more tangible. “There’s been a new buzz since everything with ‘Atlantis’,” Draper continues. “It feels like we’re a new band again.”
Having released three studio albums of heart-on-sleeve indie-folk gems that have, from 2016 debut ‘Tell Me It’s Real’ to 2023’s lockdown-recorded third LP ‘Wonderland’, pushed their songwriting into increasingly confident and varied realms, Seafret in 2025 have the vitality of a new band but the experience of seasoned pros. In some ways, they’re still the same men that first met at a Bridington open mic night more than a decade ago - true music fans who just want to communicate via the storytelling of a song - but they’ve also grown exponentially. Now, they’re sailing proudly into the new horizons of their second wind as a band: reinvigorated, replenished, and brighter than ever. “These last years have just made us more hungry for it again,” says Sedman. “It really feels like it’s a fresh new Seafret and we’re ready to go.”
