“Skytinual’s reemergence with the single “Changing Light” marks a significant moment in the music world, as Dave Bush—known for his past work with Grammy-winning artists—steps into the role of a solo artist with a clear and mature voice. The single’s instrumentation includes Bush on all instruments except bass, which is handled by Kevin Scott, known for his work with Government Mule. The blend of modern alt-pop with subtle ‘80s elements offers a unique soundscape that complements the song’s thematic depth. Bush’s decision to produce all aspects of the track underscores his commitment to an authentic, hands-on approach in his new music” - Louise Clark

“Changing Light is more than just a song—it’s a meditation on change, inspired by Bush’s practice of zazen meditation. The song’s verses unfold like Zen koans, posing unanswerable questions about life, direction, and purpose, while the chorus repeats the mantra, “changing light, changing life,” a reminder of both the inevitability and the beauty of change. This lyrical depth, coupled with Bush’s blend of modern alt-pop and nostalgic ‘80s influences, creates a sonic landscape that feels timeless and introspective. With Changing Light, Skytinual has set the stage for an era of artistic expression that bridges past and present, blending introspection with a musical style that feels both familiar and refreshingly original. ” - Danielle Holian

“In his new song, Skytinual expertly blends social commentary with melodic indie-pop music, creating a multi-layered work. In a divided America where cultural and political divisions have become the norm, this song serves as a voice of unity and understanding. Skytinual’s inspiring melody and lyrics remind that love and humanity can overcome any adversity. Skytinual’s charismatic vocals shine brightly against soft solos and keyboards. Trumpet and backing vocals add even more charm to the song, creating a multi-dimensional sound. This harmony of different instruments and voices not only makes the track enjoyable to listen to but also significant in terms of its message.”

“A funky, soulful pop charisma shows on “Still Love You (At the End of Time),” a smooth new single from Skytinual, the project of drummer-turned-artist Dave Bush. He describes the effort as an “indie pop polemic about love on a fraying planet in a divided America.” Warm brass and twinkling keys drive into a debonair vocal immersion, yearning for one to “come back home.” An added vocal reflection assumes to “rise above,” as the instrumentation continues to build, culminating in a blissful array of spirited brass, funky guitar riffs, and “I still love you,” vocal declarations. “Still Love You (At the End of Time)” is a smitten, hooky success from Skytinual.”

“The single’s soundscape incorporates alt-pop with touches of ‘80s nostalgia, creating an emotional yet familiar sonic environment. Kevin Scott’s bass work enriches the song, adding warmth and depth that accentuates Bush’s introspective lyrics. Fans of reflective alt-pop will appreciate Skytinual's unique blend of storytelling and sonic atmosphere, which promise to continue in his upcoming album, Yes Yes Let’s Hope. As Skytinual reclaims his space in the industry, “Changing Light” is a signal of his profound artistic vision.”

“Skytinual's single "Changing Light" is a meditative alt-pop piece that dives into themes of transience, change, and acceptance. Inspired by Bush's zazen meditation practice, the song presents a mature and reflective approach to songwriting. The lyrics carry a Zen-like quality, structured as unanswerable questions and quiet reflections. The chorus repeats a mantra-like phrase: “changing light, changing life,” creating an effect that is both grounding and thought-provoking. This approach to songwriting sets Skytinual apart, blending his well-honed musical abilities with a message that resonates universally. Adding to the song’s richness is the collaboration with Kevin Scott, the bassist for Government Mule, whose distinct playing style weaves a layer of soul into the alt-pop framework.” - Kiara Thompson
