Artist Bright Light Bright Light poses in a press shot

Bright Light Bright Light, the NYC based artist, producer, and DJ, is back with a bang as he drops his latest single, ‘You Want My…,’ today, offering a sneak peek into his much-anticipated fifth studio album, ‘Enjoy Youth.’ The album, set to release on May 17, is poised to bring a wave of joy, optimism, and love, just in time for Pride Month.

The infectious ‘You Want My…’ is a vibrant dancefloor anthem that channels the spirit of two of Bright Light Bright Light’s musical influences – the iconic Pet Shop Boys and the legendary George Michael. The track, produced by co-writer Ian Masterson, immerses listeners in the lush sounds reminiscent of Pet Shop Boys’ 90s dance classics, while playfully referencing George Michael’s ‘I Want Your Sex.’

Reflecting on the song, Bright Light Bright Light says, “‘You Want My…’ is about celebrating – rather than lamenting – the end of a relationship. It’s the point where a person who has been played around with says ENOUGH and takes control, draws a line and refuses to keep giving in to a selfish lover: a state of empowerment that I wish I had found more than a few times in my 20s in London while enjoying youth!”

‘You Want My…’ joins a stellar lineup of prerelease tracks including ‘Boys,’ ‘Sweet Release,’ ‘Down To One,’ and ‘I Don’t Know What I’m Going To Do,’ providing a glimpse into the effervescent synth-pop extravaganza that ‘Enjoy Youth’ promises to be.

This highly-anticipated album features collaborations with GRAMMY-nominated Mykal Kilgore, dance music legend Ultra Naté, Sam Harper, Berri, and Beth Hirsch. Fusing glittering electropop, 90s house, and HiNRG synthpop, ‘Enjoy Youth’ serves as an escapist alternative in acknowledgment of the challenging times we live in. Bright Light Bright Light aims to remind listeners of life’s magic and focus on the joy we still have.
