Afonso drops off a classic new record entitled “Luz.”
With everywhere currently on lockdown, music is playing a very important part more than ever in our day to day life indoors to keep us sane (hopefully). Afonso’s new single “Luz” actually brought peace to my mind and made me reminisce for a few minutes about amazing things allowing me to blank out the current negative state of the world. Not going to drown you too much in my text but hit play below and share your thoughts.
“Luz’ is the second release from Afonso. The song represents a self-analysis, where the singer focusses on his necessity of development and discovery within himself, although the song was written for the minds that don’t recognise this quality. ‘Luz’, meaning light in Portuguese – the singer’s mother tongue, acts as a teaching piece, almost like an enlightenment for the listener. To Afonso, this phenomenon has been very important throughout his life and it’s what makes him feel whole, so he sings to underline the fact that it’s only possible to reach this thought through the level of sincerity you have with yourself, your emotions and your journey. It’s by facing his demons that the singer frees himself of negative thoughts and welcomes happiness. Through the heartfelt chords, groovy percussion and the wave-like harps and strings, Afonso sets himself by the seashore – the place where he feels most at ease and connected with himself.”
