Taken from the Anytime Is Fine ep, ‘Hotel Love’ is one of Seraya’s ‘darkest’ songs yet, but true to form, she turns it into a self empowering mantra for all women in the entertainment industry.
The bluesy musical interplay in this song portrays the Artist and the Perpetrator in a way that very few could and the lyrics paint the picture in a way that only Seraya could.
For this release, Seraya teams up with producer Neil Coombe (The Go-Betweens/ DZ Deathrays/ John Steel Singers) once again for their most in-depth collaboration yet. Neil’s distinctive guitar and bass work is all over this record, dancing beautifully with Seraya’s voice, piano and organ lines to create a myriad of melody, mood and mayhem in her usual ‘never make the same record twice’ style...

Hotel Love
Words & Music by Seraya Young & Neil Coombe 2017
VERSE 1
Oh dealer in dreams, you brought me down
You broke my wings, and you stole my crown
You stand so tall and you talk so proud
Like you own the world, when everybody bows down
CHORUS
I’m gonna rise above your hotel love
I’m gonna rise above your hotel love
VERSE 2
It’s your cross to bear, when its said and done
I could call you out, with this loaded gun
It’s a losers game, and we know I won
But your secret shame be bringing you undone,
CHORUS
I'm gonna rise above your hotel love
I'm Gonna rise above your hotel love
Why you take me like you own me?
When we know you don’t know me
CHORUS
I’m gonna rise above your hotel love
I’m gonna rise above your hotel love
Outtro
You gotta take a look, take a look, take a look, what you done
You gotta take a look, take a look, take a look, what you do
