Let The Love Back In

The Orange Lights

Blackbird

WE SAY

We first featured The Orange Lights back in January 2006. Their debut single Let The Love Back In is released on their own Blackbird Records with an album, Life Is Still Beautiful, scheduled for June. The quality of songwriting and performance in the band makes sense when you look at the pedigree of those involved: Paul Tucker, previously of the Lighthouse Family and singer Jason Hart, previously with Spiritualized. Momentum is gathering on the band. This uplifting and epic track has just been added to the Radio 2 playlist, and The Guardian's Dave Simpson tipped them last week in his critics choice - 'a desolate Verve or U2'. Everything we've heard so far promises much. The band play The Great Escape in Brighton on Friday May 18. Watch the video here. JF London gig: 20 March 12 Bar WC2
