Written by Brice Robell, “City Lights” is a pure soulful R&B track that spins around awesome EDM synths that really allows the vocals to shine. With a smooth soulful male vocal, Brice Robell impresses as he delves into lyrics that bring attention to mental health.

Talking about the track, Brice Robell said: “‘City Lights’ is a poetic caution sign; it warns against the empty promises of mass consumerism, attention economy, shady businessmen, and Western individualism. This entire album is my experience and deep disturbance with the new normal and the statistics of our youth. They are more anxious, depressed, and suicidal than ever before. I’m striving to bring a deeper awareness and alternative to these profound problems.”
