About the song

To many, the creative home of an artist is a sanctuary of freedom. Truth in the Sea explores how the afflictions of life seek to pull us away from that place. In the vein of Frank Ocean and Jorja Smith, Selci expresses these evocative meditations that lay atop lofi rhythms and layers of classic synths.


The team

Selci and Boeseya are a passionate and skilled duo. They have teamed up on multiple videos together and made movie magic within petite budgets. Imagine the what they could do if they were awarded Storyhive Grant!
