“Nothing’s What It Seems (Lemon Lime Watermelon Redux)” is a golden-hour kind of tune—just fizzy enough to lift you up, but mellow enough to lean back with. Sea Glass, the NY-based project from producer Jake Muskat, joins forces with Indigo, the California-based dreamer behind “Maeve”, to breathe new life into Sea Glass’ breakout track “Lemon Lime Watermelon”. And this redux? It’s chilled limoncello after dinner, sipped slowly on a tiled balcony somewhere warm.
From the jump, there’s this playful balance between nostalgia and ease. The original’s traces are there—sampled vocals from Sky Adler, dreamy synths, ukulele that’s somehow both cheeky and charming—but what Indigo brings is this surfer-lounge vocal energy that makes the whole thing feel like it’s leaning back in a hammock. “I’ve been on my knees, nothing’s what it seems. Nothing at all” hits like a softly sunburnt truth, both honest and breezy. It’s not sad, but it’s real—and that balance is exactly what gives the track its colour.
What’s also lovely here is how natural it feels. This wasn’t a calculated pairing—it was born from IG DMs, shared mutual admiration, and a bit of musical serendipity. The story goes: Sea Glass was reaching out to say he loved Indigo’s track “Maeve” when he noticed Indigo had already messaged him about “Lemon Lime Watermelon”. Fast forward a couple of years, and they’re swapping stems mid-flight—literally. The result doesn’t sound laboured; it sounds like two artists meeting in the middle of a memory and making something light-hearted but honest out of it.
