In a moment when the world feels heavy and uncertain, Voice The Artist returns with a track that doesn’t just sound good—it means something. “Lighters Up” is a gentle, soul‑searching groove that leans into hope, resilience, and the quiet strength we hold onto when life tests us. It’s Soca stripped down to its emotional core, yet still carries the unmistakable warmth and groove Voice is known for it.
The visualizer reinforces that message beautifully. A lighter flickers against the sky, its flame rising again and again—a simple motif (a recurring theme), but a powerful one. That spark becomes a symbol of endurance, a reminder that even in difficult times, light is still possible. The entire aesthetic feels dreamlike and warm, almost like a soft exhale after a long day.
Behind the scenes, the song is shaped by a talented creative team: Timothy Thomas, Tabai Davis, Deli Banger, and Aaron St. Louis (Voice The Artist) on writing; Mikhail “Mega Mick” Corneal on production; and the always‑precise touch of Kasey Phillips on mixing and mastering. Together, they’ve crafted a track that feels intimate yet uplifting—a quiet conversation with the soul.
Voice has long been one of Trinidad’s premiere Soca artists, delivering music that grooves, comforts, and connects. “Lighters Up” continues that legacy, offering listeners a moment of reflection wrapped in melody. It’s a relaxed vibe, but the meaning runs deep.
In times like these, sometimes all we need is a spark. Voice gives us one.
