Consisting of Joey Lantonio, Will Johnson and Steven Hoehl, these three individuals come together to create Contact Light, a pop-rock inspired band that focuses on creating music that aims to support people going through mental health troubles. The deep driving force behind Contact Light pushes them to the forefront of rising groups that we have our eye on, especially after listening to their track, ‘Arrow (Single Edit).’
The track displays the versality of the band, including elements from both the pop and rock genres, with an underlying electric innuendo to the overall production. The musical production creates a calm and opening undertone, allowing viewers to become fully immersed in the music and its message. Even with this underlying electronic vibe throughout it, ‘Arrow (Single Edit)’ continues to showcase an indie, innovative flare that reminds us of some of our favorite tracks from artists like Tyler the Creator.
The lyrics of this song will have you hooked from the beginning. Speaking on the isolated feeling after losing a lover, Joey sings about how he wonders if things could have been different if they both went about things differently. ‘Arrow (Single Edit)’ seems to hold on to the idea of an old relationship while articulating the despair that we often feel when these partnerships come to an end. These thoughts are articulated when Joey sings, “Keep you safe here, keep me safe here inside your brain…”
Though the lyrics speak to such a deep topic, the overall production and musical elements of the track construct a beautiful, comforting aura to ‘Arrow (Single Edit).’ Will and Steven come together to generate breathtaking musical beats and rhythms that add to the general tranquil sense on the song. Contact Light’s piece will make you think and ponder about the influence that some people have in your life, all while creating a safe space to evaluate these thoughts.
