Soft Lighting

**Soft Lighting** is the dreamy synth-pop solo project of Nashville-based artist Anthony Mangicapra. Blending nostalgic 80s influences with modern production, Mangicapra crafts lush, introspective soundscapes that evoke foggy dancefloors and late-night drives. Since debuting in the early 2010s, Soft Lighting has become synonymous with shimmering synths, hypnotic basslines, and lyrics that balance romance with existential musings—think The Cure meets Chromatics with a dash of retro futurism.

Recent releases like *Slow Motion Silhouettes* and *Glamour Shots* showcase Mangicapra’s knack for merging icy melodies with warm, human vulnerability, while collaborations (such as the haunting *Siamese Gemini / Warm Leatherette*) highlight his versatility. Whether through the neon glow of *Cascade* or the melancholic pulse of *Portraits*, Soft Lighting remains a go-to for listeners craving synth-pop that’s as emotionally layered as it is danceable.
