Exclusive Premiere : Seth Michael "She's Got a Thing"

Seth Michaels introduces us to “She Got a Thing” with a simple, yet specific and clear description of a woman. His imagery of her taste for red wine and 80s music gives us a small snapshot of who she is. He continues to paint a vivid picture of warm summer nights and falling asleep under the lights of fireflies. He seems to be recalling memories with this woman, retelling us in a tender and reflective description. The lyrics shift to first person, as Michaels explains why he’s lucky.
The full band joins in on the harmonious and catchy chorus, where he shares: “she’s got a thing for turned-back hats,” “holes-in-jeans,” and “two left feet.” Michaels scales back the instrumentation and elongates his words as he draws out “And I thank God that she got a thing for me.”
Michaels’ bright and descriptive imagery pulls us into the narrative, where we can see a charming and relatable woman who loves things like half-priced coffee and discount clothes. The sweet simplicity of the lyrics matches the wonderstruck quality in Michaels’ tone when he sings about this woman. He effortlessly fuses the emotion of the song with the warm, resonant melody behind him. Michaels repeats the chorus again with even more passion than the last time. His rich voice echoes how thankful he is that this woman has a “thing” for him.
“She Got a Thing” is like a scrapbook of memories: we can see each snapshot Michaels captures of this woman, and then of himself. Even though we don’t know anything about their relationship, this song beautifully illustrates a postcard glimpse of it.
