Premiere: Aphrah Releases Her Stunning Debut ‘Northern Lights’
“where you are, I’m always with you by your side.”
We all wish we could freeze-frame moments in our life and Aphrah’s debut single ‘Northern Lights’ is about just that – capturing a moment in time.
“We ran together chasing colours in the sky, at night we held on to that moment for a while,
when you are with me all the shadows turn to light”
Singer-songwriter Aphrah brings memories and feelings to life with this stunning piano-led ballad which exudes intense emotion and sends tingles down spines in its simplicity. ‘Northern Lights’ was co-written with Jack Gourlay (Tom Odell, Caitlyn Scarlett, Rhodes) and as if Aphrah is relaying an intimate narrative to the listener. The piano and layered harmonies echo the emotions in the lyrics and highlight rich, tender vocals.
Aphrah has been working with some other renowned writers and producers including Steve Brown, who produced Rumer’s million-selling debut album ‘Seasons of my Soul’ and Laura Mvula’s debut ‘Sing to the Moon’ which was nominated for the Mercury Prize.
‘Northern Lights’ is officially released on Friday June 21st. We can’t wait to hear from Aphrah.
“Oh I love you”
