Lighta

CARRTOONS & Rae Khalil

RGM RATING (??????????)

A fast-paced pop song with hip-hop elements, perfect for any time of day.

Ben Car, an artist who doubles as CARRTOONS, is a multi-instrumentalist and producer from New York City. However, even though he plays multiple instruments, he tries to highlight the electric bass above everything else. His eye-catching appearance on NPR’s Tiny Desk has helped him become the successful producer he is today. Despite his success, Car continues to improve upon the skills he’s developed in an attempt to keep leveling up his work. You can hear his growth as an artist by checking out his music on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music. CARRTOONS’s latest hit is “Lighta,” a track from his latest album, Homegrown. The song also has an accompanying music video.

“Lighta” is exactly what you need to pick up your energy. There is special energy present in the track that makes it stand out among even top-tier hype tunes. It’s fast-paced and full of excitement; enough to get you dancing, no matter where you are. As the title suggests, the song is about a lighter, or rather, the concept of one. What can a lighter do? Well, the explanation is in the name, as Khalil and Car tell us. It’s about lighting up, lighting up your life, and finding ways to light up others. “Lighta” is one of those tracks that can only be described as the ultimate energy-bringer. So, do yourself a favor and listen to CARRTOONS’s “Lighta’ today.
