Video ~ Pretty Lights “So Bright” at Red Rocks and Free Download
From PrettyLightsMusic
“”So Bright” is a dark, soulful song with a hard and hypnotic beat that will be on the upcoming PL record. Derek Vincent Smith (Pretty Lights) made a huge switch in his production techniques, and a marked evolution in his sound, all while still staying true to the PL style that he’s developed. It has zero samples in it, as everything was self composed and recorded with several different bands he assembled, as well as many vocalists and emcees he recorded with.”
Download the full length version of new PL single, “So Bright” at no cost.
