The new RedUzum single will be released on all streaming platforms, except Apple Music! Remarkably, they refuse to distribute the track because of its title ‘Sea Change I’ and demanded us to change the name first. We refuse for the sake of artistic freedom.
We are astonished. “It’s bizarre that a streaming service apparently wants to influence completely harmless song titles. They stated that the ‘I’ at the end of the title was ‘unnecessary and confusing’. But this choice is entirely intentional because of the song’s meaning. You can read it as ‘I’ but also as the Roman numeral 1. It’s a stylistic reference to krautrock, where numbers are often used in song titles.”
Maybe we will even release a ‘Sea Change III’ someday, because we won’t let ourselves be influenced. As if Apple itself has never used an unnecessary ‘i’ in product names…
