Singer-songwriter Bash Croft, also known as Sebastian Croft, released his fourth single, ‘Good Light’, an indie-pop track described as a melodic reflection on nostalgia and the desire to relive past relationships. The release is part of the lead-up to his debut EP, ‘The Great Forever’. 

Croft has since discussed how personal heartbreak served as the catalyst for his return to music and the creation of the EP. While Croft has not publicly confirmed the identity of his former partner, British media reports suggest the relationship was with his ‘Heartstopper’ co-star Joe Locke. Croft noted that the title of his EP originates from a phrase used by his former partner during their time together.
