Richard is now back with his latest offering of ‘Lost In Your Light’

This is a track that starts off gently… after all it’s a ballad. But what’s not quite clear is that it’s a duet and the way it’s revealed is really clever!

I actually applauded when I worked it out. The reveal was so sweet, it’s like a curtain up moment, when the female voice melds so beautifully with Richard’s vocals here, and it’s such a stunning result it really eclipses everything else in the track which is why I chose to be play it on my radio show.

Now instrument wise what we have here is a very chilled backdrop of acoustic guitars with a bass, piano and synth chords, there’s a reverse snare hidden in the mix – don’t think I didn’t miss that!

What a beauty of a track!

Thank you Richard, I’ve really enjoyed this track.
