Toronto singer-songwriter Jasmyn Burke, best known as the frontwoman of Weaves, has shared "Find the Light," the debut single of her solo project, Jasmyn. With the new release, Jasmyn has joined the roster of Royal Mountain Records, an indie powerhouse from her hometown, as well as that of the ecclectic Los Angeles label ANTI-.
On "Find the Light," a bright drum line, a simmering synth beat, and a deliciously scratchy guitar underscore Burke's rich, breathy vocal track. "Let me catch up again / Let me get up again / And find the light," she repeats in the chorus as the guitar wails. It's a fitting slogan for a comeback.
"This song was loosely written during the Fall of 2020,” Burke said in a statement. “The world was feeling pretty heavy, and I felt myself wanting to write music that created a mood of happiness and space to grow. It feels like we’re living in this sort of in-between space, where life is altering. I wanted to explore finding comfort and hopefulness through uncomfortable change."
