Hailing from rural Northern Minnesota, genre-bending soul artist Lew Apollo transforms deeply personal struggles into hypnotic tracks. Blending smoky vocals with guitar-driven production, Apollo crafts a lush, highly aesthetic sonic landscape.

His latest single, “Let The Light In,” radiates a laid-back soul vibe. The track opens with stripped-down acoustic guitar, minimal lyrics, and Apollo’s signature smoky voice—setting the tone for a chill yet sultry soundscape that slowly unfolds.

Apollo’s vocals carry a hint of John Mayer’s wide, expressive vibrato, yet remain entirely his own.

The track serves as a glimpse into Apollo’s upcoming self-produced debut album, Fool’s Gold, set for release on August 8th. It’s a strong representation of who he is as an artist today. 

The video amplifies the song’s retro vibe with red lighting, a disco-inspired dance floor, and Apollo moving through it all in a dream-like state, matching the slow pace and lush aesthetics of the visuals.

 

“Let The Light In” builds subtly, leading into a chorus with a catchy top-line melody and a memorable refrain: “why don’t you keep the door open when you leave and let the light in.”

Around the 2:07 mark, the production progresses into a more dance-worthy beat that naturally makes your body sway—an evolution that fits seamlessly with the rest of the track.

“Let The Light In” is a great entry point for listeners new to Apollo’s music—inviting, soulful, and full of promise.
