Audation‘s got a new single and video and TGEFM’s here to turn on the light for you. Wait… Audation is here to turn on the “Blacklight”!
Singer/songwriter/guitarist Jamin explains the inspiration for “Blacklight”:
In 2024, I (Jamin) was experimenting with writing with other musicians in my area to see what we could come up with. “Blacklight” was a song that I co-wrote with my friend Kyle Kleckner who plays in the band Twisted Chrome.
There are as many unique writing styles as there are unique human beings and it’s really fun to see where that leads you. Kyle’s guitar solo is super fun, kinda an old school rock feel to it.
Lyrically, “Blacklight” came from a place of frustration. We as artists try to modify our personality to try to fit in one group or another, but no matter how hard you try to censor yourself, the truth of who you are, good and bad will always shine through. “Blacklight” is about seeing what can not be seen in the regular light, because if you shine a blacklight on it, it becomes visible.
We took that a step further for the music video where we filmed the band playing on a stage in black clothes and regular light, and halfway into the song, we switch to white clothes under blacklight to signify that we aren’t trying to hide anything.
Every part of making this song has been a blast and I am so excited to share it with the world!
