Closer to the Sun

Guy Sebastian

Polished soul-pop with a sun-drenched Australian warmth. Powerful gospel-trained vocals meet organic arrangements and mid-2000s radio hooks.

Find on Amazon

It's the sound of a powerhouse vocalist finally finding his groove in sun-soaked soul-pop.

A bright, resilient blend of optimism and soulful vulnerability.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The soaring, gospel-inflected vocal climax in the final chorus of Taller, Stronger, Better.
The rhythmic, funky guitar lick that drives the infectious energy of Elevator Love.
The transition into the bridge of Can't Stop a River where the orchestration swells to match the vocal power.
