British singer-songwriter Sam Ostler makes a comeback with a new single, “Lights,” a luminous and emotional energetic track that combined a soulful voice and vibrant production. The song throbs with optimism, providing a sonic hug for anyone making their way through life’s more difficult stretches. With crisp instrumentals and soulful delivery, ‘Lights’ is a perfectly timed reminder of the strength of resilience and the human spirit.
Vocals from Ostler make the song a warm, honest encapsulation of persevering even when the way is uncertain. The production is lush and modern, managing to be both of-the-moment with pop flair and down-to-earth with raw emotion.
A song constructed around themes of perseverance and solidarity, “Lights” doesn’t so much shout its message as it does radiate. Whether it’s listened to in an isolated headphone glow on a quiet night or pulsing through the room with friends late in a journey, the song unfolds for us, an intimate and companionable experience that is huge and forthcoming.
Sam Ostler is still finding a nice little niche in music that is as heartfelt as it is musically exciting. It’s a song that lingers long after the final note has been struck, leaving that quiet urging to search for light, even in the deepest hours.
