Jason Lyles’s latest single, “The Light,” bursts onto the scene with an invigorating blend of 80’s jangle-pop and mid-90s alternative rock. This dynamic and catchy anthem captivates from the first chord. It turns out to be a hard rock smasher, filled with atmospheric air that expands with each resonating note, drawing you into its vibrant sonic landscape.
At the forefront of “The Light” are Lyles’s thick and deep vocals, which range with emotion and passion. They infuse the song with a humane softness that resonates with you. Against the backdrop of drifting and curving guitar tunes, the track is dynamic, keeping audiences on their toes and engaged from start to finish. The thumping drums drive the rhythm forward, compelling head nods as you are swept up in the message of the song.
“The Light” is only the first single from Lyles’s upcoming album. It shows how fiction helps us reinvigorate ourselves when faced with hardships—often better than self-help books too! Inspired by author Stephen Baxter, the track transports you into a futuristic narrative of a pilot about to change a fascist rule and bring forth a revolution. With the illustration of a space station arena near a galactic black hole, the song visually inspires. Speaking of visual inspiration, Lyles animated a visually stunning stop-motion music video for “The Light.” The video, designed by professional artist Michael Salter, brings the futuristic space world to life.
With Jason Lyles’ music now available on Spotify, Apple Music, and other major platforms, “The Light” shows us the boundless possibilities of musical expression.
