HAIVE Unleashes New Song ‘Bathtub’
HAIVE’s “Bathtub” is a playful, powerful plunge into Dark Pop territory, and it’s impossible not to be swept along. Eva Betzinger’s voice floats above the intricate production like a thread of light through shadow, guiding listeners through a journey that’s both emotional and utterly danceable.
The song opens with a delicate vulnerability—soft piano, gentle vocals, and a cinematic sense of space. It’s immediately compelling, inviting listeners to lean in and pay attention. HAIVE’s ability to make emotional storytelling feel immersive yet accessible is one of her biggest strengths, and it shines here.
Then comes the shift: the beat drops, synths thrum, and the track surges into a midtempo, bass-forward crescendo. It’s joyous, cathartic, and just a little mischievous, turning intense themes of trauma and resilience into a soundscape you want to move in. HAIVE proves that even heavy subjects can be fun to experience musically.
Part of the track’s charm is how it balances light and dark. HAIVE’s vocals are intimate and confessional, but the production adds a cheeky energy that keeps the track from ever feeling too heavy. It’s an artful combination, like dancing in the rain—haunting yet exhilarating.
“Bathtub” ends on a note that’s both triumphant and reflective. HAIVE has created a single that’s smart, fun, and irresistibly replayable. It’s proof that Dark Pop doesn’t have to be gloomy—it can be playful, immersive, and full of surprises, just like HAIVE herself.
London-born, South Africa-based folk artist Seth Tabatznik unveils his latest single, “Shining For Love”, a luminous and heartfelt composition that celebrates life, love and the natural world.
Built around layers of atmospheric acoustic guitars, devotional strings, soft shakers, and Seth’s evocative vocal delivery, “Shining For Love” captures a sense of reverence that feels timeless. Each element moves with intention, allowing the song to bloom from a whisper into a radiant, full-bodied expression of gratitude and connection.
“This song came to me in a forest, spoken by the elements around me”, Seth shares. “It was like nature took my pen and transcribed the lyrics into my notebook, accompanied by a simple four-chord progression. I love how the song builds and accelerates as a celebration of life, love, and nature. Every sound, every movement, is her way of expressing herself as she is one being, of which we are a part, not apart.”
Now based in the Western Cape mountains of South Africa, Seth’s music is steeped in a deep respect for the land and the lessons it offers. His work bridges folk traditions, medicine music, and contemporary songwriting, echoing influences from Bon Iver, Noah Kahan, and Nick Mulvey, who also mentored Seth during the development of his forthcoming album.
With “Shining For Love,” Seth Tabatznik continues to carve his own path; one defined by warmth, sincerity and an unwavering devotion to the beauty of being alive.
