RedLight's "Idea of Mine" is the type of record that hits you in the chest. Starting from the underground rock circuit in Marseille, the band has cultivated their unique sound for over 15 years, and this track encapsulates every element of their creative identity, which is emotional, brave, and gritty while referencing pure melody.

There is a kind of timelessness; the band's rock influences are so intertwined: a nod to Pearl Jam's honesty, a hint of The Cure's moody elegance, and maybe just a sprig of The Prodigy's unfettered rage, all while exhibiting their uniquely French, DIY panache. The guitars, recorded and mixed in Dapé's home studio, sound raw yet beautifully intentional, with each riff exuding a sense of distilled honesty.
There is urgency, almost as if the band is confessional rather than performing. The chorus evokes a cathartic sense of relief, compelling you to scream for a renewed sense of life. If rock is to be stripped back to its real heart, it's never about being perfect but always about being connected. "Idea of Mine" is RedLight's artist statement, evidence that authenticity still prevails in an age of overproduction.
