We at Coast Observer are Truly Honored that Serabee has chosen Coast Observer to Premier the Upcoming Next Hit Off her Newly Released Hummingbird Tea Album!!!
Here You Geaux!!
Enjoy!!
'I'm Closed" is the second video from her critically acclaimed album Hummingbird Tea off of Rabadash Records. Directed by Jeremy Hawa of Light Strike Productions and shot on location in Texas, Serabee sings and dances her way out of a past relationship. "Bartenders, you have found your new closing song."
“If blues is truth, 'Hummingbird Tea' is a blues album.” – American Blues Scene
“The album consists of 14 original songs ranging from firey grooves to moving, soulful ballads.” -Rockandbluesmuse.com
From Serabee herself: "I'm Closed" is about emotional maturity. It's not easy to deny someone you want and set boundaries, but protecting your heart is worth it. It's a lot tougher and requires much more self-love than it is to get affection in the short term. Musically it reminds me of Memphis, Mavis Staples, and The Rolling Stones. While writing, we thought of the times you show up late, and as they close up shop, it's like they are saying, 'Sorry bae, you missed the boat. Gone fishing…you ain't gotta go home, but you ain't staying here. Padlocked heart here tonight!'" I love how the lyrics are "see ya later gator" and a breakup song, but it's not a ballad or sad. It's fun & groovy, and you can dance to it with your friends and celebrate your new-found freedom!
