Casino Lights by Krosswindz

Casino Lights is the kind of song that earns its place in a playlist and then refuses to leave. The music, composed by Chandrani Banerjee, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

The voice of Krosswindz carries Casino Lights effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. For fans of a talented ensemble cast, Casino Lights is one of those songs that immediately conjures specific scenes and emotions.

By the end of 2015, Casino Lights had moved well beyond its original audience and into everyday playlists. It fits the playlist for almost any occasion, which is rare — most songs have a narrow emotional window. This one does not.

Running to 5:05, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. Casino Lights is a reminder that the best music does not need to announce itself. It only needs to be heard.
