After a six-year hiatus from releasing original solo music, London-based composer and producer Liam J. Hennessy makes a radiant return with ‘Shining Light’ — the captivating new single from his forthcoming ‘Phases’ EP.

Known for crafting deeply emotive soundscapes enriched by field recordings and natural textures, Hennessy’s music treads the line between ambient electronica and neoclassical minimalism. ‘Shining Light’ continues in that tradition, layering glistening synths, subtle rhythms, and organic instrumentation into a piece that feels at once intimate and expansive — a quiet celebration of growth, transformation, and renewal.

The track arrives following years spent working behind the scenes, writing music for high-profile campaigns and award-winning films. Hennessy’s sonic fingerprint has been heard in projects for Nike, Tesla, Wired UK, and Four Seasons, as well as collaborations with artists like Message to Bears and Levi Patel. His 2019 album In The Half Light garnered widespread acclaim and has amassed nearly 400,000 streams to date.

‘Shining Light’ marks the second glimpse into ‘Phases,’ a new EP inspired by Hennessy’s journey into fatherhood — a work that promises to explore the emotional contours of personal transformation with sincerity and sonic elegance.
