'In Light' delves deeper into Cunningham's personal and creative consciousness than ever before. Known for his indie-folk-inspired singer-songwriter music that envelops emotions and moods in intimate, breathtakingly beautiful soundscapes, Cunningham has built a massive following over the years, amassing more than half a billion streams. With 'In Light', he wanted to push boundaries. Inspired - and unsettled - by the rapid development of artificial intelligence, he sought to capture the essence of raw human creativity. The result is a collection of ten tracks, recorded over five weeks in Tottenham, North London. These songs-captured as single takes with minimal editing-immerse the listener in a profound stream of consciousness. Cunningham explores personal truths and reflects on the world's complexities, from the unsettling grip of big data to the hope that genuine human connection still offers. As he sings in 'This I Know', "The best is yet to be / I believe." The album's title, 'In Light', reflects Cunningham's optimism, shining through even in darker moments. "We're here right now / Let's be here again tomorrow," he urges in New Symmetry, concluding with the poignant affirmation, "I am leaving a light on."
