From Stick Figure to Center Stage: KBong & Johnny Cosmic Deliver Spirit of The Light
You really have to applaud KBong and Johnny Cosmic. As if being core members of Stick Figure wasn’t enough, the duo has carved out their own lane with a nationwide tour and now the release of their incredible new album, Spirit of The Light.
The 14-track project shines with features from Mike Love, Alan Watts, Boostive, and more—but at its heart, it’s the duo’s soul, positivity, and heartfelt messages that make the record glow. The songwriting is thoughtful, the production is top tier, and the vibes are consistently uplifting, carrying themes of love, resilience, and enjoying life’s journey.
Tracks like “Honey For The Soul” show how seamlessly KBong and Johnny Cosmic complement one another, blending pop, reggae, and folk into a sound that feels universally empowering. “Moving Slowly” captures that vacation-state-of-mind, reminding us it’s okay to take things easy, while “Soul Remedy” brings an irie reggae groove perfect for backyard gatherings—complete with keys, guitar licks, and vocal chemistry that’s impossible to ignore.
The reflective “Ancient Stone” carries a peaceful, meditative spirit, and the title track delivers a warm, campfire-style singalong vibe that embodies the album’s message: enjoy the journey every step of the way. “The Way Back,” with Boostive and its horn-driven dub elements, offers another standout moment, encouraging patience and trust in finding your path.
Closing track “Inner Voice,” an epic 11-minute journey featuring Alan Watts, ties it all together with hypnotic keys, flute, and a jam spirit that’s both expansive and intimate.
With Spirit of The Light, KBong and Johnny Cosmic deliver music that uplifts, connects, and celebrates life. Their bond as artists shines throughout, reminding us that the world feels brighter when their music is playing.
