Lamplight casts shadows of contemplation with new single ‘Confrontation’ ahead of debut album
Today marks the release of Lamplight’s haunting new single ‘Confrontation,’ a contemplative track that delves into the complexities of guilt, relationships, and self-discovery.
‘Confrontation’ emerges as an introspective admission of guilt, where Lamplight, also known as Ian Hatcher-Williams, navigates the delicate balance of avoiding explosive conflicts. The moody, meditative cadence of the song perfectly complements its brooding theme.
Hatcher-Williams reveals:
“Some settle conflicts with fire, exploding back in the direction it came from; I run from it. Friendships, relationships, jobs, confronting family history. Like tea stains spidering at the bottom of a porcelain cup, the liquid evaporates so slowly you don’t get to observe it leaving. This song came out of reckoning with that – as scared as I am of those explosive moments, the alternative isn’t better.”
As Lamplight continues to tease its upcoming debut album, ‘Confrontation’ adds another layer to the complex narrative that Hatcher-Williams weaves. The upcoming release promises a journey through identity, self-discovery, and the balance between holding on and letting go. His self-titled debut album will be released on March 8, 2024, via Western Vinyl.
