Sean MacLeod has just released his new single, Light Up the Sun, which is a track that leans into breezy pop sensibilities while hinting at the depth of his upcoming projects. The Irish songwriter, formerly of Dublin band Cisco, continues a productive streak, previewing ideas connected to his next album That’s When the Earth Becomes a Star, due in May 2026.

Drawing on sixties-inspired sounds blended with folk, classical, and avant-garde touches, Sean balances infectious melodies with thoughtful songwriting. Beneath its summery feel, the track carries a reflective, almost spiritual undercurrent, reinforcing his habit of pairing accessible hooks with deeper lyrical themes across his expanding solo catalogue as his creative momentum shows no signs of slowing.
