Light Up is an album by Solstice, released in 2023. The album is a jazz CD. -
Two years in the making as the band cement themselves together into a cohesive whole, in particular allowing vocalist Jess Holland to thrive, this new album is pure joy which, in the words of Prog Magazine editor Jerry Ewing "evokes the spirit of the band I first saw in the '80s, but with very much a here and now production sound and brings with it the wisdom of those ensuing years". Jerry is bang on the money
Packaged in a gatefold digisleeve with 16-page booklet.
