At only 20 years old, Nico Cann is already making an impact in music, and his new single, “Light Over The Ridge,” proves he is one to watch. Boasting a sound that combines the old-school, raw power of classic rock with new-school textures, the London-based artist offers an emotional and explosive track.
Produced by Thomas Mitchener, whose handiwork includes Frank Carter, Noahfinnce, and many more, “Light Over The Ridge” is a mission statement. At its core, the song deeply explores Nico’s single-minded desire to win charge ahead, pursue his dreams, and never accept anything less than greatness. It’s an anthem for anyone wanting to prove themselves, making it immediately relatable, particularly to those poised at the brink of their aspirations.
“Light Over The Ridge” instantly draws you in with an orchestral palette reminiscent of Phil Spector-style productions and Bruce Springsteen’s ambition. But a richness distinguishes the track, with layers of guitar, dynamic percussion, and anthemic melodies that give it an expansive, cinematic quality. Nico seamlessly infuses modern indie-rock features reminiscent of Jack Antonoff and Sam Fender, giving the song a stylish edge that feels fresh and relevant.
Lyrically, Nico brings her words to bear on the universal quest for meaning amid trials, a feeling that lands powerfully in our present. This track features on his debut project, “Silver Lining,” a promising, intense exploration of experience in growth, ambition, and the peaks and troughs of youth. What sets “Light Over The Ridge” apart is its honesty. There’s an undeniable immediacy in Nico’s delivery, a sincerity that makes each lyric sound lived-in and the experiences behind it real. The song inspires you to chase your dreams, no matter the hurdles.
