BANNERS, formally known as RAINES, is back with his second single “Shine A Light.” Earlier this year, the Liverpool native made a splash with his hauntingly beautiful debut single, “Ghosts.” Although he drew early comparisons to artists like Chris Martin, “Shine A Light” sees Nelson embrace a much “fuller” sound, one much more akin to Dry the River than Coldplay.
When discussing his new track, BANNERS explained that “the song is about feeling lost at sea and desperately searching for a beacon of light. It’s about waiting for that one big wave to finally pull you under while clinging on to that one last ray of hope. It’s a song to the person in your life that offers salvation while the storm is raging around you.”
