A Breezy, Rousing Number
A driving, stirring tune to capture the imagination, 'Bright Lights' ignites a suitable passion in the listener with rousing lines like, "I'm tired of this dark place where hope dies and hope fades, I'm going to leave these shadows behind".
The first single from the Suffolk singer/songwriter's new album, 'King Of Cards' is definitely enough to leave you curious to hear the rest of the Mercury Music Prize nominated singer's new work. 'Bright Lights' swells with an epic chorus featuring frantic percussion, glittering pianos and soaring strings; it's an inspirational number to pick you up when you're down, casting off any hints that McRae might be just another moping songwriter. 'Bright Lights' has a definite spark and could surely help McRae break through into the mainstream.
