Back with another reflective and emotionally stirring single White Lights delivers “Simulation Breakdown,” the second look into his debut album NUMBSKULL. A multi-dimensional track that draws a parallel between anxiety and sound, White Lights personifies the break in time which occurs in moments of emotional strife. A brilliant follow-up to his previously released cut “Body Trap,” the Brooklyn-based creator has set a specific and streamlined tone for the forthcoming LP. Successful in his ability to blend genres that would otherwise be considered contradictory, White Lights turns a paradox into something natural. A textured and dreamlike experience, “Simulation Breakdown” goes above and beyond expectations.

WHITE LIGHTS - BODY TRAP
Music, Original MixCommentWhite Lights is the brainchild of Johnny Shankman, an NYC-dwelling creative with a penchant for paving his own lane. A testament to dream-chasing, the producer, singer, and digital creator is chasing the pursuit of happiness and truth. Inspired by the profound musings of Kid Cudi, White Lights returns with his first single off his forthcoming NUMBSKULL album. A mellow track with a minimalist electro-R&B body and melancholic vocal limbs, “Body Trap” is authentic and overwhelmingly genuine. A dive into the complexities of the human experience, “Body Trap” is a mirage of interconnecting sound. This righteous contrast of musical genres prompts a contemplative listening experience. His moody vocal instrument gracefully trails across the distinctly lo-fi production with ease. A deeply personal manifesto, “Body Trap” sets an impressive and emotional stage for the unveiling of NUMBSKULL.
