John Tibbitsโ EP โLight of The Flameโ is a stripped-back collection of five folk songs that offers originality and transparency with raw vocals and passionate lyricism.
The EP opens with โMake What You Will,โ a thoughtful track with descriptive lyrics recounting various actions in the verses only to reflect on all of them holistically. The acoustic guitar helps us relish the lines and life altogether. โStupid & Dumbโ takes a more introspective turn, with Tibbit showcasing growth and maneuvering life as an adult.
โOne Momentโ takes us to John Tibbits finding his path in his earnestness for music, with a more upbeat sound of the drums adding more vigor and brightness to the acoustic tones and his husky vocals. The title track, โLight off the Flame,โ serves as the EPโs highlight, with its context reaching beyond his own story to that of politics and societal commentary, with drums bringing in a subtle rocking energy and the folk tunes flowing from ear to ear in a chaotic manner.
John Tibbits couldnโt have completed his EP any better than with a soft romance song like โFind the Key.โ Tibbitsโ passionate delivery and the subtle nuances in his vocals add a layer of sincerity to the track.
With his producer Jak and his inspirations of Roy Harper, Declan OโRourke, and Frank Turner, John adds a touch of originality to โLight of the Flameโ while merging generations of music. If that sounds like something you would hear, check out โLight of the Flameโ by John Tibbits.
