Between Fiona Apple and Enya
“Light” is perhaps most comparable to a mix between a Fiona Apple track and an Enya ballad. The single is a perfectly balanced fusion of pop, folk, and new-age. The melody is simultaneously catchy and soothing, a seemingly impossible combination.
“Light” has a way of blending each instrument together into one interconnected sound. There is not a single misplaced note or sour phrase. Everything that Lyra Star did with this single, she did internationally. As a listener, it is refreshing and captivating to come across a song that flows more like a poem or a painting than the average radio tune.
In the piece, Star discusses the maddening reality of being in love. The old wisdom ‘you cannot choose who you fall for’ is on full display here, free from any cliches. This is an issue that most can understand and relate to. Lyra Star has a way of making the listener feel as if she is singing directly to them, and “Light” does this with great sincerity.
