SEREN

There's a quiet kind of power to SEREN, a 21-year-old singer-songwriter whose music is disarming in its honesty. Her songs feel lived-in and unhurried. Raised in Stroud, near Bristol - a small town best known for the Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling competition - she grew up in the quiet of valley life that seemed at once stifling and formative. "It's a place you love once you leave." Her debut EP, Where The Heart Is, captures that push and pull between departure and return, belonging and reinvention. Across four tracks, SEREN lays bare the complications of youth and identity. Her voice moves between the conversational ease of Lola Young, the whispered upper register of Billie Eilish, and the piano storytelling of Joni Mitchell. Now she looks forward. Her second EP, Love, At The End Of The World, was written across late nights, bus journeys, apocalyptic television and moments of sudden clarity - a candid meditation on loving fiercely in a world that feels like it's ending. Across four tracks, some rooted in solitary piano, others opening into fuller arrangements of strings and subtle electronics, SEREN finds a sweet spot between intimacy and grandeur, choosing hope and connection despite it all.
