Emily Seibert Releases "Love For Now" – A Yacht Rock Reverie

In the heart of Nashville, where sounds stick around like magnolia fragrance, a group of musicians found themselves going around one groove. What started as a loose jam—an exchanged riff like a chuckle between friends—soon turned into something of gold. Emily Seibert got together with Chris Hatfield and Christian Colabelli and they dove into their creative reservoir, stacking harmonies like strokes of paint on a canvas, letting instincts guide the way. Soon, they conscripted Wesley Tweed and Quinton Moore into action, whose bass and drums grounded the song in rhythm and soul. The outcome was like sunshine in a bottle—an ode to summer road trips, open windows, and effortless love.

The overall sound glides between yacht rock's glassy waters and early 2000s R&B's silk. The musical influences are not solely sonic—it's also spiritual. The song pays homage to the sunny confidence of Hall & Oates and Alicia Keys' emotional vulnerability. It's a gentle nod to an era in which melody was king and groove was gospel, all tied with today's sincerity. Every note rings with tribute, every chord progression a quiet nod to those who paved the way before them.

This record is more than just a blend of sounds, though; it's an ode to camaraderie. The real sorcery was not just in the music, but between the spaces—guffaws in the studio, all-night arguments over lyrics, dinner and dream-sharing together. The song "Love For Now" captures the experience of being in transition—not literally alone, but psychologically. It's about choosing someone over and over, during strife and turmoil, and saying, "Let's just move on." It's an anthem for the in-between, where the road turns out and the pages are empty.

Dug in the musical center of Nashville, every element of this song was built with passion. Chris Hatfield mixed and mastered the record. The activity was in the most positive sense of the term obsessive—equal parts technical precision and intuition. Reflecting on it all, Emily gave a modest truth: "It's a gift and a privilege to make and share music for a living, and I never forget how lucky I am to make it with people I adore." And in this song, you can hear all that love.
