lISTEN UP! - BRIGHT LIGHT BRIGHT LIGHTWe’ve been listening to Bright Light Bright Light for quite some time now (his debut album actually came out last summer), but never wrote him up. How is that possible? We need to stop prioritizing writing up the 6th single from every fucking Rihanna album or that new boring-as-heck One Direction tune and focus more on the up-and-comers. We started this blog to introduce new music!
Okay, so now that I’ve ranted about Pop! Bang! Boom! enough, this is Bright Light Bright Light (or Bright Light x2 for short). His name is actually Rod Thomas (no, not Rob Thomas, though we’d love to see them do a duet). He is an extremely talented singer songwriter from Wales, and everything about him is fantastic. Let’s examine: His name - Very poppy, but in a way that says “I’m interesting and more than your typical top 40 artist”. His music - At times very muted, other times extremely danceable. Pop in the best sense. Hooks aplenty. Very, very well written. His look - A well-dressed Welshman with just enough facial hair? Sold. All good. If this were school, he’d get an A+. |
