Thomas Oliver - Brightest Light - [Vinyl]

Thomas Oliver represents the openness of the mind and the heart, both as a musician and as a human. He touches people's lives in all corners of the globe as he draws a connection between various forms of music that could otherwise be considered polar opposites. His warm demeanor and story-telling on stage are as much a part of his musical identity as his unmistakable falsetto-singing range, his award-winning songwriting (he was awarded the APRA Silver Scroll (Song Of The Year) - award in New Zealand in 2016), his world-renowned touch on the lap-slide guitar, or his celebrated vocal contributions to the genre of Drum & Bass music (for which he was recently a finalist for the Best Vocalist Award at the Drum & Bass Arena Awards. "The Brightest light" is a combination of Soul, Roots, Folk and Pop, but it certainly carries some of the energy and diversity of Berlin. "I had set out to write a new record in New Zealand where I lived, but I had the distinct sense that I needed to change my surroundings in order to write music that was inspired in a different way. So I moved to Berlin, Germany, and set up a studio soon after completing a 19-date European tour. Berlin is unconventional, colourful, and sometimes challenging, which is what made it the perfect place to base myself while I wrote this music. I started writing songs as soon as I touched down; I couldn't help it." After multiple tours and support shows of artist such as Fat Freddy's Drop, Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton and Xavier Rudd, the start of 2020 will see more new music from 'The Brightest Light. Tip for enthusiasts of: Gary Clark Jr, Son Little and Amos Lee.
