Is Cate Le Bon at the top of her game right now? I think Cate Le Bon is at the top of her game. Every single we've gotten from her upcoming new album, Reward, has been absolute perfection -- a masterful blending of the Welsh musician's avant-weirdness and pop precision. So far, we've heard "Daylight Matters" and "Home To You," and today she's putting out "The Light."
It's a spinning sigh of a track that finds Le Bon dropping cutting lines like "Holding the door to my own tragedy/ Take blame for the hurt but the hurt belongs to me" with heartbreaking casualness. The song is an elastic band of horns and ricocheting piano keys.
Listen to it below.
