Toronto-based singer-songwriter Andie Loren’s music is a mix of dream pop and rock. Her smooth, warm vocals soundtrack songs that are characterized by her desire to understand human nature, and how love can consume us in both positive and negative ways. Andie’s brand new EP, Some Special Light, is a concept record that looks into our desperate need to matter to someone and the highs and lows that come along with it.
Produced by Thomas Hammerton, the EP’s five tracks focus on a relationship between two people and, in particular, one person’s longing to matter to someone.“ There’s a desperation we feel in wanting to be important and significant to someone.” Andie has felt that herself in many relationships and instead of focusing on what she needed, she was focusing entirely on the other person – what they thought, what they felt. “It wasn’t healthy but it’s easy to lose sight of what you want when you’re crazy in love with someone.”

Some Special Light’s title track is about a struggle within oneself. It’s hard to share the person you want the most. We try not to allow jealousy, insecurity or possessiveness to take over, but sometimes it just does. The title itself represents what we all want to be in someone’s life, especially when you’re in love. They become that special light to you and, in turn, you hope that you are the same to them.
Personally, this song is the most important to me. I don’t know what it is but I’ve always felt unsure of myself, especially in relationships. I am admitting in this song the uncertainty I’ve felt in many of my relationships. The self-doubt I’ve had, and the longing to truly be loved. It’s like I’m still 18 and questioning everything. – Andie Loren on “Some Special Light”
