Following a string of standout singles and growing international acclaim, Lovetempo returns with There Is A Light, a long-awaited and deeply expressive full-length album that marks a defining moment for the project.
Lovetempo is the musical vision of Mattie Safer, the Brooklyn-based artist also known for his work with Poolside and The Rapture. With this latest release, Safer leans further into his signature fusion of soul, disco, house, and jazz-funk—crafting a sound that is both emotionally rich and rhythmically compelling.
Built on themes of longing, introspection, and transformation, There Is A Light is more than just a dance record—it’s a deeply human exploration of healing and self-acceptance. The album reflects a journey from heartbreak and doubt toward connection and renewed hope, anchored by Safer’s belief in the transformative power of love and music.
The project has already garnered praise from influential tastemakers, including Gilles Peterson, who simply stated, “I like lovetempo.” Support has also come from Laurent Garnier, alongside airplay on globally respected platforms like BBC 6 Music, KEXP, and KCRW.
Introduced through singles such as “The Right Way” and “Wanna Be With You,” the album expands Lovetempo’s sonic palette. It draws inspiration from 70s dance music and electronic soul while embracing more experimental and emotionally nuanced territory. Tracks like “Never The Same” and “But I Do” reshape club rhythms into intricate, jazz-leaning compositions, while songs like “Thinking About You” and “By Your Side” explore softer textures rooted in R&B, Latin grooves, and ambient soul.
The title track, “There Is A Light,” stands out as a minimalist yet uplifting electronic gospel anthem—radiating optimism and resilience. It encapsulates the album’s core message: even in moments of darkness, there is always a path back to light.
Produced alongside trusted collaborators and mixed by Carlos Truly—known for his work with Ava Luna, Juan Wauters, and Frankie Cosmos—the album maintains a cohesive yet adventurous sound. Every track feels intentional, balancing emotional depth with dancefloor energy.
Ultimately, There Is A Light is a celebration of resilience, connection, and rediscovery. It’s music that invites listeners not only to move, but to feel—to reconnect with themselves and hold onto hope.
