Writing and Development
Upon announcement of 100 Times Around the Sun, Sebastian said: "I have poured everything of myself into this album. It's an incredibly personal album that I wanted to feel full of love, life and joy. When I get to this point of finally being able to share it with you all, the nerves and excitement definitely hits."[2] Although Sebastian developed the album on songwriting trips to Bali, Los Angeles and Nashville, much of it was recorded in his own studio in Sydney.[9] Speaking of why it has been five years since his last album release, Sebastian said, "I know itâs been a long time"[... ] "but I donât feel like I can go through enough life in a year or a year-and-a-half to make a whole body of work".[10]
Sebastian said that the inspiration for the sadder songs on the album came from people close to him going through heartbreaking things, "Sometimes, someone will say something and it's a way I've never heard, like when a friend of yours is going through something and you've never heard grief or heartbreak articulated in that way."[11]
As to the general theme of the album, Sebastian said "As you get older, you realise you canât please everyone. And in the pursuit of doing so, you actually become nothing to everyone" [...] "I can just rest in this circle. And if I had a thousand lifetimes, a thousand times, one hundred times around the sun, I would want this same circle. And thatâs pretty much what the albumâs about".[10]
Reception
Sarah Duggan from The Music said "100 Times Around the Sun is a celebration of where he's been and a clear-eyed, soulful statement of where he is now. It's the perfect example of how music, at its best, brings people together, tells the stories we sometimes can't put into words and helps us dance (or cry) through it all. With this record, Sebastian is simply making music that feels good, from a place of honesty, joy and love, and in doing so, he continues to prove exactly why he's still one of Australia's most enduring and beloved voices."[12]
Tour
In August 2025, Sebastian announced a tour to support the album, commencing in Newcastle on 16 April 2026.[13]
