| Building on their unremitting energy and youthful ambition, Light The City's
sophomore album, It All Starts Here, once again showcases the band's infectious
and bop-along sound. While some may initially mistake the band for just another
overtly emotional, teenage singalong, It All Starts Here sets them apart through
the use of clever lyrics and skillful production.
Filled with contagious, guitar-based melodies colorfully mixed with lead
singer Elijah Orbea's commanding voice, listeners can expect an overall
heartfelt sound. The band pays particular attention to mixing and production,
allowing them to create differing yet complementary tracks. A play-through of
one song will without a doubt require a second listen and after a third
play-through of tracks such as "Your Show is Over" and "I Won't Sleep Through
This," consider yourself sold.
Available as a free download on the band's PureVolume page, the first single
released off of It All Starts Here, "Let Your Body Breathe," seemingly captures
the passion of Light the City through one song. With poignant lyrics such as,
"Take down the walls you've placed around yourself / and let your body breathe,"
the track perfectly blends their vivacious sound with compelling lyrics beyond
their years. (self-released)
