Christian doctrine, including rebirth, regeneration, and divine purification. There\u2019s a reason it\u2019s the core component of a baptism, where water is used to connect a worshiper to God. For the rest of their lifetime, they will feel God\u2019s warm embrace and unconditional love, whereas a human lover rarely comes with the same guarantee. Instead, it\u2019s far more likely they\u2019ll just plunge you into the depths of \u201csubliminal loneliness,\u201d as alt-pop artist Christian Sean describes in his debut track, \u201cCold Water.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264534\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264527\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            An atmospheric breakup song that\u2019s easy to get swept up in, \u201cCold Water\u201d is brimming with rich textures mimicking everything from the gentle burble of a spring stream to being swept out to sea by an unexpected current. The song constantly ebbs and flows, its dynamism coming from an ever-changing coalescence of zig-zag synths, euphoric trance piano, and stop-stutter glitch samples. And yet, \u201cCold Water\u201d doesn\u2019t sound like pure chaos, but a hauntingly beautiful synthesis of a viscous bassline and resonant harmonies of a slow-motion gospel choir, whose smooth and ghostly hymnals offer a sonic salve. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264528\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left embed\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Christian Sean - Cold Water (Official Audio)\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jscQVV0wNL4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-264529\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            Born into a Christian cult, Sean spent his childhood roaming across Europe and the Southern U.S., living a nomadic lifestyle until escaping to Montreal with his mother. Their newfound freedom didn\u2019t change the fact that Sean\u2019s formative years had been spent following strict rules based on other people\u2019s immovable beliefs and underhanded motivations, though. <\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t take long for music to become his go-to means of individual self-expression, with his passion growing tenfold after receiving his first sampler at fourteen. A classic Roland SP-404, the aspiring producer started to meticulously study Animal Collective\u2019s sampling methods and taking in Montreal\u2019s burgeoning indie rock scene, watching acts like Grizzly Bear, Grimes, and Mac DeMarco. <\/p>\n<p>            It was a \u201creally exciting time to come of age,\u201d as Sean says in the press release for \u201cCold Water,\u201d which pays ample homage to his D.I.Y. beginnings. Deeply reminiscent of that late-aughts sound that took over Hype Machine, Sean incorporates hints of psych, disco, and synth-pop into \u201cCold Water\u2019s\u201d indie electro-rock core, while also giving his MGMT-esque production an updated pop R&amp;B edge with a lithe falsetto \u00e0 la The Weeknd.<\/p>\n<p>            Sean also had his own band, though the project eventually dissolved before he moved to S\u00e3o Paulo with his then-partner. Living in Brazil allowed him to focus on solo production, trying out a diverse range of musical styles with the aid of a MIDI controller and a laptop. <\/p>\n<p>            \u201cCold Water\u201d was written upon Sean\u2019s return to Canada and gr<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>les with the whirlpool of emotions that accompany the death of a relationship. It\u2019s also proof that music was always meant to be a core component of his lifelong search for self. Between the song\u2019s renewed take on the late-aughts electro-dance he loved as a teen and its nod to the Christian belief in water as an agent of regeneration and rebirth, \u201cCold Water\u201d makes it clear that Sean has come one step closer to finding his identity, transforming himself into a rising avant-pop star. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Sandra Song<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
