Need Your Light by Ra Ra Riot
Need Your Light is an album by Ra Ra Riot, released in 2016. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 13 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Water”, on 13 lists with a best position of #33.
Need Your Light, Ra Ra Riot's fourth studio album, came out on Barsuk on February 19, 2016, following Beta Love. Ryan Hadlock produced most of it, while Rostam Batmanglij took the controls for "Water" and "I Need Your Light", and the band leans all the way into bright, synth-kissed indie pop.
"Water" is the gem: a buoyant, fizzy rush of a single, all bubbling keyboards, springy rhythm and a sky-high vocal hook that sticks for days. Elsewhere the record glows with a sunny, springtime feel.
