Anson Seabra’s new song ‘Trying My Best’ is a soft, candid ballad that has the singer-songwriter go down a path of self-evaluation and thoughtful acceptance whilst functioning as a delicate, beautiful tribute to his individuality.

The melody is measured and soothing, whereas Seabra delivers the lyrics in a spoken-word fashion----the structure being conveyed like a poem or a speech. It instills a spirit of honesty and self-awareness, something Seabra’s feathery voice achieves in strides. From his previous numbers, the listeners already know his range of capabilities, including his inclination to delve into heavier themes as an outlet of expression. ‘Trying My Best’ takes those points of honesty up a notch as the singer examines the challenges of overcoming pain, instability, and loneliness. 

In the form of music, Seabra asserts his efforts at ‘trying [his] best to be okay’, this refrain acting as a form of self-acceptance for millions struggling with mental health issues around the world. The track is powered by sharp piano chords, but they never get too loud or overwhelming as to obscure the pure smoothness of Seabra’s vocals. A note must be made of the production; it is minimal but powerful, it keeps the composition clean and crisp, something that has been observed in many of the tracks in Seabra’s discography. 

Speaking on his journey as a musician, Seabra reveals, “Here I am, trying to refine my writing, trying to find myself while staying authentic, and most of all just trying to write really great songs that people will enjoy listening to….I’m terribly excited at what comes next, although a little nervous, but I think with the right team behind me and a little bit of luck I’ll be well on my way.” Anson Seabra has been at the music game for just over a few years now, but his ability at connecting with his fans over the relatable themes in his music is already signaling a career buoyed by humbleness and maturity.
