Its lead single, "Light Up", was released on 13 July 2018 alongside remixes from Loadstar and Matt Lange.[2]

Background

Light of the Fearless was made in conjunction with various movies that Hybrid was scoring, such as Vice, Billionaire Ransom and Interlude in Prague.[3][4] The album was made with the help of the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.[5]

The inspiration for the album spawned from events in the lives of Mike and Charlotte Truman, such as the death of Charlotte's mother in 2012,[5] along with protests such as the March for Our Lives 2018 and 2017 Women's March, although the album is not political. The album also features a cover of Tom Petty's song "I Won't Back Down".[6]
