‘Seconds,’ one of the most compositionally refined tracks from SOZI’s debut EP BLOOM, is a tightly crafted meditation on time, memory, and presence. Rejecting pop maximalism, the LA-based artist embraces minimalism with precision, constructing a soundscape that is both emotionally restrained and texturally intricate.

The arrangement is deliberately sparse delicate synth lines unfold over a subdued rhythmic foundation, sustaining tension without disrupting the track’s intimacy. Each element serves a purpose, from the faint percussion to the subtle shifts in vocal layering. Her vocal performance is marked by clarity and control, avoiding excessive embellishment in favor of direct, measured phrasing. The track highlights SOZI’s strengths not only as a vocalist but as a producer with a keen sense of space, pacing, and music narrative.
