The highly anticipated new single from ROWDY SUPERST*R, Look Into The Light, released on Accidental Records on 21 May.

The track, a hard-edged, up-tempo anthem to positivity, previews the themes of love, light and ‘NEWPOWER’ explored more fully on the artist’s forthcoming album bATTERY, recently completed with ROWDY joined by Matthew Herbert in the producer chair.

LYRICS:

Look into the Lights

VERSE 1
I see no, hear no, speak no
tv off its such a drone
its right its its wrong
its off its on but you can never know
its just a way of life
no matter how hard you try
you’ll find you cant fight his design


CHORUS

never let your torch blow out
DONT
let your light dim now
GO
inside to come out
he wants you to shine now
count all the locks you’ve got to break
you’ll learn from all of your mistakes
so stay strong when doubt attacks
look to the light never look back


VERSE 2
they aim, they shoot, they miss
avoid lines sticks and stones
tick tock tick the clock goes
skeletons are only bone
theres nothing there to hide
look into the light
the winners are taking the prize

CHORUS

MIDDLE 8
feels like you’re breaking down
as sure as the world goes round
energy knows no bounds
you will find all you found
feels like you’re breaking down
the l.o.v.e is here now
don’t look to the sky you’ll find
its deep inside

CHORUS

BREAKDOWN
lights
beams
shine
streams
show truth
speak to the world
all beings
use me
and set love free
