SERAh unleashes "In Front of Me" like a cinematic supernova

"In Front of Me" isn't content to sit in a playlist; it's a story beat from an unfolding saga. The new single from SERAh is a fusion of trap grit and orchestral sweep that feels ripped straight from a movie scene. Every detail, from whispered background harmonies to adrenaline-fueled drops, pulls you deeper into Lyra's World. In this neon-lit universe, the stakes are high, the odds are against you, and running toward your destiny feels both terrifying and unstoppable. 

In this exclusive Q&A, SERAh breaks down the sparks, the sounds, and the cinematic heartbeat behind her latest creation.


1. What was the initial spark or inspiration for "In Front of Me"? Did it begin with a sound, a story moment from Lyra's World, or an emotional theme you wanted to explore?

Honestly, it was a mix. I had this visual in my head, almost like a snapshot from Lyra's World, and the sound grew around it. It began as a chord progression that felt tense yet hopeful, and then it became tied to a key emotional beat in the story. Once that clicked, everything else just fell into place.

2. Your music often feels like it could score a film. How did you balance the cinematic feel with bass and trap energy here?

That balance is everything for me. I want the drops to hit hard, but I also want you to feel like you're in a movie scene. I layered orchestral elements and big, atmospheric pads over the bass and trap drums so you still get that impact, but it's wrapped in a world that feels bigger than the track itself.

3. Every track has a feeling it's built around. If "In Front of Me" had to be described as a single emotional state or moment, what would it be?

Determination is that moment when you're running toward something you believe in, even if the odds are against you.

4. How does "In Front of Me" fit into the larger storyline of Lyra's World? Is it tied to a specific character, scene, or turning point in the saga?

It's tied to Lyra herself, at a huge turning point. Without spoiling too much, it's that moment when she chooses her path, and there's no going back. But maybe it's fate, and perhaps no matter what she does, her future was predetermined. Maybe you'll stick around and find out!

5. The textures in your music are layered and detailed. Can you share a unique sound or production trick in "In Front of Me" that listeners might not catch on the first listen?

A vocal harmony is subtly tucked away in the background of the first drop, featuring pitched-down layers of LLOVSA's voice blended with a synth pad. It's one of those things you might only notice on headphones after a few listens, but it adds this haunting undertone.

6. This song has moments that feel tense and others that feel explosive. How intentional was that dynamic contrast, and what do you want listeners to experience in those shifts?

Totally. I wanted the verses to feel like you're holding your breath, and then the drops to be the release, almost like you've broken through something.

7. Since your music is tied to visuals, did you imagine a specific scene or imagery while creating "In Front of Me"?

Yeah, I pictured Lyra sprinting through this collapsing, neon-lit city at night, with debris falling around her. The build-up is her weaving through the chaos, and the drop is that moment she breaks free into the open sky.

8. If you could stage a live performance of "In Front of Me" anywhere in the world, with any visual effects budget, what would that look like?

Easy the Sphere Las Vegas with holographic visuals wrapping the crowd in the Lyra's World visuals, synced perfectly to the music.

9. What's something about "In Front of Me" you hope people will notice only after multiple listens?

The hype arp in the second drop, it's a slight shift, but it changes the whole energy if you notice it!

10. Without giving too much away, does "In Front of Me" plant any seeds for upcoming music or narrative reveals in Lyra's World?

Oh, absolutely. There are a few Easter eggs and plot devices in there that will make more sense once the following few music videos drop. Let's say it's going to build on character relationships and unexplored pasts.
