Auckland, New Zealand’s Callum Mower, known as Serebii, has always focused on pushing forward. Forward musically, forward personally, and now, forward into naked vulnerability.
Serebii’s upcoming album Dime finds Mower at his most vulnerable. Historically, Mower has relied on his mastery of instruments and production with others, namely fellow New Zealander Arjuna Oakes, but he’s approached this album with deep introspection to produce something breaming with self-expression with his own vocals front and center.
That challenge and exposure have suited him well: it’s neo-soul with a capital S-O-U-L. Not only is Dime Serebii’s most realized and moving album yet, but he’s made it into one, unified, statement. Tracks are mere suggestions. So, let’s catch one of those stops.
“Verrans Corner” is on Dime, out March 28th on Innovative Leisure.
