Blue Sky In Your Head

Lighthouse Family, one of the most successful bands of the late 90s and early 00s, return with a new studio album after a gap of 18 years. Blue Sky In Your Head' released by Polydor includes Essentials, all the bands classic songs remastered for the very first time to celebrate their 25-year recording history.

Blue Sky In Your Head is Lighthouse Family’s fourth album, and sees them back on their original label Polydor and reunited with Colin Barlow, the A&R that discovered them, and their first manager, Keith Armstrong; the same team that was around them when they were at their FM Radio-dominating peak.

Those years have not dulled Lighthouse Family’s remarkable ability to craft elegantly beautiful songs. Their first single in almost two decades, My Salvation is an upbeat track that flies high on lush strings and has echoes of Pet Shop Boys at their imperial best. Blue Sky In Your Head opens with the rippling, rolling, title track. Its theme is, says Tunde, similar to ‘Ocean Drive’. “A dream of a place, a dream of escape, something you want to get away to.” Indeed, the new album has something that has always been present with Lighthouse Family. Messages of hope and uplift. Sentiments of community and communion. Songs of love and connection. Tunes to sing, loudly, from the heart. It can only be Lighthouse Family, back to dream up the magic all over again.
