It’s been a while since we last heard from EVERGLOW, with their last comeback being back in December 2021 with their EP Return of the Girl. But almost a year later, on November 18, EVERGLOW is back with a collaborative single called “Ghost Light” with German music producer and DJ TheFatRat.

“Ghost Light” carries a strong storytelling feel that takes its listeners on an adventure through its sound. The song opens with a mythical, fantasy-like vibe that is emphasized stronger by the video's visual of a siren-inspired creature that the viewer is drawn closer and closer to as the song goes on. The track’s chorus is a heavy Eurodance beat mixed with the sounds of a trumpet, which then leads into an electronic, staccato beat before coming to a close with a haunting, fantasy-inspired lullaby sound placed behind EVERGLOW’s dreamy vocals. 

The lyrics coincide with the theme and image of the siren. In Greek mythology, sirens were believed to have been human-like creatures who lured men to their demise with their beautiful, hypnotic singing. In “Ghost Light,” EVERGLOW embody sirens through their vocals and the lyrics, beautifully singing lines such as, “close your eyes and hear my voice / in your ears,” “come and follow / into the darkness here with me,” and “now I’m with you and you’re with me / singing you to sleep / now close your eyes and rest in peace.”

With all of its mythical, adventurous vibes, “Ghost Light” has the perfect sound for a video game soundtrack, which isn’t so surprising. TheFatRat is known for being “one of the most influential music makers in the gaming world,” having composed the music for games such as Dota 2 and Rocket League. 

So, if you love EVERGLOW, electro dance music, and video games, then EVERGLOW and TheFatRat’s “Ghost Light” is the perfect song for you. Check it out now on YouTube, Spotify, and other streaming platforms.
