London-born folk artist Seth Tabatznik is stepping into 2026 with momentum, heart, and a fresh release that feels bigger than a song — it feels like a message.
Out today (January 30, 2026) via MOTH Music (Mother Of The Heart), Seth has officially unveiled his stunning new single “We Are Walking Home,” a track rooted in transformation, spirituality, and soulful reflection — wrapped in acoustic beauty and unexpected rhythmic lift.
A Song That Feels Like a Homecoming
“We Are Walking Home” opens with a gorgeous flute-led intro that immediately sets the tone: warm, spacious, and deeply grounded. Seth’s soothing vocal delivery enters softly, almost like a chant, before the track gradually builds — layering acoustic guitar, strings, and gentle percussion into an immersive folk soundscape.
Then, halfway through, the song shifts into something more vibrant: a dreamlike second act featuring African-inspired instrumentation and an upbeat energy that feels built for movement — a subtle nod to global folk influences in the spirit of Paul Simon’s Graceland era.
Seth Tabatznik on the Meaning Behind the Song
Seth shared that the hook existed in his mind long before the music arrived:
“I had this lyric in my head for months: ‘We are walking home, into the womb of the universe’. I didn’t know what to do with it. Then one day I was just fiddling around on the guitar and the whole song came to me in minutes…”
He continued:
“This song is about the times of transformation we are in… a time of chaos and destruction, but also of creativity and rebirth… of coming back into our hearts and remembering.”
It’s that balance — the weight of the moment and the promise of renewal — that makes “We Are Walking Home” land with such emotional impact.
A Rising Voice in Indie Folk
Even though Seth only began releasing music in 2024, he has already crossed an impressive milestone: over 200,000 streams across platforms and climbing — a testament to the growing audience responding to his unique sound.
His recent singles “Shining For Love” and “Choose To Be Alive” earned praise from respected tastemakers, including CLASH Magazine and EARMILK, putting Seth on the radar as a rising name in the indie folk landscape.
With his live shows, that momentum has translated into real-world demand — including sold-out performances at:
- Boschendal Estate (Cape Town, South Africa)
- Green Note (Camden, London)

“We Are Walking Home” is the latest preview of Seth’s upcoming sophomore album:

Raised in London and now based in South Africa’s Western Cape mountains, Seth’s artistry is rooted in the land, the spirit, and the search for meaning. His music carries elements of acoustic folk, medicine music, and earth reverence, blending soulful harmonies with heartfelt lyricism.
