Opening with a pulsating and euphoric beat that already makes you want to hit the dance floor, the lyrics are wholesome and full of love energy. The reality that UK artist, Alexander Joseph created with his new single Firefly is cute, playful and universal.
Firefly’s production has a brightness and clarity that SOPHIE would be proud of. Lyrical highlights include “and then the sun goes down, we need a miracle”, “illumination calls and you are the one tonight”, “as long as you’re alive, the heavens are opening”, “and all our deepest fears will never survive the night”. We love a conscious artist.
Firefly features catchy electric guitar riffs and a driving beat, which fade in and out to make way for the acoustic guitar and vocals of Alexander to shine through in the chorus.
Speaking on the song, Alexander Joseph says, “The song focuses on finding light in the darkness and following our ‘Firefly’ to help us through.”
Alexander Joseph’s uplifting songs about overcoming obstacles have been a consistent theme throughout his previous work and he remains committed to channelling important and heartfelt messages through his music. BBC Introducing have picked up on this and shown great support in the past, selecting two previous songs as their tracks of the week.
