His voice is smooth as it slides over the sparkles of the melody and fills you with the richness of the emotions of the lyrics. Through his performance, you are filled with the affection felt for someone who fills your thoughts and life with bright light. His ability to bring the emotions of the track to life is outstanding and easily puts a smile on your face. The overwhelming love he feels is bolstered by the overlapping backing vocals that bring that decadent touch of RnB to the track. It is a really polished single that not only showcases Parson’s vocals, but the stunning fusion of styles that characterise his music.
