Review of 'Bring The Light' by Earth-O-Naut
In these often dark days with less than positive demeanour, music can often be a way to lift the spirit above the day to day doldrums, and this new single, Bring The Light, from Earth-O-Naut does exactly that.
The sixth release from the Liverpool born and bred artist, known for being multi-faceted in terms of vocals, instrumental talent and production expertise, demonstrates, yet again, his versatility in jazz and soul fusion.
Echoes of The Style Council at the intro, blending piano and soft drums, slide into an uplifting jazz brass melody, an anticipated ritual expectation based on previous tracks, before even getting to the remarkable vocals on this track.
Bring The Light brings with it much more of a ‘soul’ vibe than some of Earth-O-Naut’s previous releases, delighting listeners with an intimate romanticism, layered with some particularly poignant lyrics, drawing on love loss and rediscovery, with the underlying inspiring message and reassurance we have come to look for from this artist.
A mid section guitar break conjures up chilled beach sunsets and long cocktails, before the eloquent drums, expertly and perfectly delivered by Steve White (The Style Council, Paul Weller, James Taylor Quartet, Jon Lord, Trio Valore and The Family Silver to name a few), kick back in, providing true uplifting satisfaction for the soul.
Rumours of a debut album due to be released in the spring of 2026, followed by a tour later in the year, will please those avid supporters already championing Earth-O-Naut, including JazzFM, with A-list playlists for Radio, streaming platforms and Hot New Releases and R&B Charts.
If there was ever a time that the world needed a reminder of reflecting on the importance of embracing love, this is it, and who better than Earth-O-Naut to provide that reminder.
