Sean Bertram Finds His Voice in Reflection and Renewal in ‘Everything Again’
With Everything Again, Sean Bertram establishes himself as not merely a songwriter, but a composer in the truest sense. Every layer—harmony, rhythm, production choice—serves a narrative purpose, reflecting an artist who understands the architecture of music as deeply as its emotional charge. That he performs nearly every instrument himself only amplifies the intimacy of the listening experience; this is music built by hand, but with the poise of someone fluent in the language of tradition.
The record moves with a rare balance of technical mastery and vulnerability. “Forget You” carries the ache of parting with remarkable restraint, while “Second Nature” radiates an almost effervescent joy. These contrasts coalesce into an album that feels lived-in, shaped by both scars and triumphs. Everything Again is more than a collection of songs—it is the sound of an artist refining his voice, distilling the complexity of experience into music that resonates beyond biography.
