The artists find strength in their contrasts on the multi-faceted and upbeat new release

A UK artist celebrated for crafting expansive and multi-faceted electronic sounds that cross over into a wide range of genres and styles, STRAY LIGHT is somebody with a wealth of different ideas and collaborations that have made for a diverse musical pallette that feels invariably fresh and exciting, and his latest single ‘Hiroko’ might just be his most melodic and upbeat work to date.

The track sees the artist teaming up with songwriter, producer and vocalist HATi to craft a sound that is bursting full of energy and dynamism throughout, laying warm synths with punchy, propulsive rhythms to make for a sound that feels both hard-hitting and bold while also radiating an uplifting and charming appeal. The pairing of STRAY LIGHT’s uncompromising sound with vocals that feels softer and more alluring makes for a really compelling combination, and one that works to devastating effect on the new release.
