SORAIA Unveil New Single 'I Seek Fire' Off Upcoming 10-Song LP 'Bloom'

Philadelphia rock band Soraia has announced a October 28 release date for 'Bloom,' the act's third studio album with Stevie Van Zandt's Wicked Cool Records.

Coming off the massive chart success of the 2021 single "Tight Lipped" and 2020 breakthrough album 'Dig Your Roots, the deeply personal new album finds the band covering new ground both sonically and lyrically.

"Ultimately, our new album is about rising above all of the slights, injuries, and traumas we've all experienced - personally and together - and positioning ourselves into a new place we've chosen. A place with renewed courage and vitality. We realize we are all deserving of a life driven by our choices and power," affirms ZouZou Mansour, lead singer and lyricist for Soraia.

Of the new song, Mansour explains, "The original idea behind 'I Seek Fire' came from reading a Rumi quote: "Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames." A mix of that personal desire plus a healthy dose of romantic and tragic love ideas floating through my head created the backdrop for the lyrical story of the song.

As soon as I heard the cutting, staccato riff co-writer Travis Smith played for me, I knew I had to capture that exquisite contradiction: enthralling, obsessive passion usually comes with that tragic cut. The music brought the lyrics to life in this one more than most other songs we've written together."
