The talented Capetonian musician, Mars Baby, did it once again, releasing a beautifully constructed track, combining elements of the Pop and Rock genre, titling the single “Spotlight”.

The song had Mars speak about his struggles with a lover, mentioning how he’s aware of the hatred he constantly receives from her, while also admitting his boredom from the whole situation.

He goes on to claim how the love is still there, although the passion between the two has dwindled. Mars comes to the realization that it’s time for them to maybe split paths. A tough reality to come to.

The instrumental for this song was absolutely gorgeous to listen to, with an upbeat tempo ringing in our ears, utilizing loud drums and a soft guitar blaring in the background, creating the perfect environment for Mars to dominate. The climax of the track was our standout moment, having an explosive electric guitar raging over the beat before allowing Mars to close off the song.

As much as this track was enjoyable to listen to, it was also a tough listening experience. Mars’s tale was one many of us have experienced and situations we’ve had to constantly face. It’s why we appreciate the gifted musicians' music. Not only does he release beautiful joints, but his music also has deep substance, talking to us on a personal basis. It’s why we also adored his “Luna” project that released earlier this year.

Check out the new single, now available on multiple streaming platforms.
