Following up on his highly-successful debut single “Holy Ones,” Will Laroca returns with his newest single titled, “Northern Lights” via Virgin Music Sweden.  The slap-house track pays homage to the magnificent northern lights in his home country of Sweden.

“The Northern Lights is a metaphor for the guiding light of positivity I felt when I was able to bring myself from a dark place. To me it was with the help of my faith, but for others it can be something else, the positive force that has the power to guide you through tough times.” – Will Laroca

In “Northern Lights” listeners can hear violin melodies inspired by old Swedish folk music, hailing back to the 14 & 15th centuries, as well as the ancient Old Norse musical style from medieval times. Telling the story of mustering the will to persist and keep going, even when you’re in the coldest and darkest of places, the northern light serves as a metaphor for hope. Take a listen now.
