Hugo Brijs’ “Keep Your Light On” is a heartfelt tribute, drenched in the raw emotions of a brother’s love and encouragement. Written for his younger sister during a time when she battled chronic illness, the track is a simple yet poignant message: take your time, heal, and remember your worth. In an industry where grand gestures and over-production often dominate, Brijs keeps it intimate, letting the song’s genuine warmth and reassurance take center stage.
Musically, the track is a departure from the kaleidoscopic, blockbuster vibes of Brijs’ previous album Glitra. Instead, “Keep Your Light On” feels personal and grounded, like a quiet conversation between siblings. The melodies are gentle but powerful, allowing the lyrics to breathe and land with the emotional depth they deserve. It’s not just a song—it’s a reminder to anyone going through a difficult time that they are still seen, still valued, and still capable of shining, even when life hits pause.
Known for his ability to seamlessly blend roles as a recording artist, producer, and composer, Brijs’ work in TV and film has already earned him a stellar reputation. But it’s in these more personal songs that his talent truly shines. There’s a vulnerability here that shows Brijs is not only an accomplished composer, but also a storyteller who knows how to tap into the human spirit.
