Setting the tone with a repeated, ethereal vocal of the title of the track, John X Belmonte opens Superlight with an astral energy, a subversive bassline, intricate sonic nuances and a high octane, immersive beat with cerebral synths.

The star sings, “Superlight, in your eyes, shining through to make it right, Superlight, in your mind, shining through, to save the night…”, and takes us on a cosmic and conscious journey with his prose. Needless to say, we are in awe.

We love how the track expands with dimensional guitar riffs and captivating prose to take us on a dreamy and psychedelic, melodic techno meets EDM hybrid trip through time and space. The sound design showcases nothing short of instrumental mastery and we are hypnotized.

Speaking on his creative process, the multi-disciplinary artist confesses, “I did not actually take drugs to create this song, but I was imagining what it was like to take LSD.”

We appreciate John X Belmonte‘ sonic identity, and his ability to “hallucinate without taking hallucinogenic drugs”, and have added Superlight to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we explore his wider discography and anticipate future releases from the visionary artist.
