Days away from the release of her triumphant third full-length album On Dark Horses, Emma Ruth Rundle has unveiled a darkly romantic music video for “Light Song.” No stranger to mining her life for inspiration, this new track and its accompanying video celebrate a completely new chapter for the songwriter; after sparks turned to an undeniable infatuation between her and Evan Patterson of Jaye Jayle (resulting in their 2017 Johnny & June-esque split EP The Time Between Us), Rundle uprooted her life on the west coast in favor of Patterson's hometown of Louisville. That sense of settling, of roots digging into new soil and heartbeats steadying into a daily rhythm, is what propels the record. Strapped with equestrian themes and Patterson on backing vocals, Rundle's new environment is as much of a character throughout the album as she herself.  With Rundle's breathy but brooding vocals coupling with Patterson's smoky baritone, “Light Song” flaunts their artistic duality and flair for aural drama, a powerhouse partnership that is only amplified by stalwart backing rhythms.

When developed at an early age, food and cooking literacy can have a positive effect on a child's future. From learning basic math and science skills to forming smart, nutritional habits, cooking literacy provides the building blocks to lifelong wellness, fighting off future heart disease, obesity, diabetes and more.
