Zachary Campos returns with an affecting tune dubbed “Candle”

In a fleeting musical world where authenticity can be elusive, we sometimes just want to find that one, rare and original artist who prides themselves on getting at the heart of their craft, wearing their hearts on their sleeves. For the time I’ve known him, Zachary Campos is the kind of artist who does not compromise when it comes to authenticity and artistic integrity, and he still manages to come off as inimitable. From San Jose, California, his artistry spans rapping, singing, and songwriting, among many other creative repertoires, making him a musician you can trust to deliver when it matters. Creating songs for all occasions, he has earned himself an expanding fanbase that is as loyal as it gets.

Zachary Campos is back on the music scene as he preps for the release of his new EP “The Challenger” and this time, he gives us the 3rd track off of this upcoming project that is guaranteed to stir souls and warm hearts; – “Candle” is the song, and it has been written and delivered from a special place in Zachary’s heart.

“Candle” follows that gratifying feeling of being at peace with yourself and with the world and further extends into an inestimably joyous moment in Zachary’s life as he prepares to welcome his daughter Penelope, who will be born later this week.

A ukulele-laden masterpiece, “Candle” undoubtedly has a folksy structure, with the thoughtfully strummed ukulele providing a smooth foundation for the rich, emotive, and ear-worming vocals that float nicely over this gentle foundation, allowing for the depth of lyrics to thrive.

At its core, “Candle” is a heartwarming tune that is short and sweet and impeccably realized as Zachary hits all the right notes, taking cue from the legendary Johnny Cash as well as two anime shows, Naruto and Hajime No Ippo—this would explain its immersive and atmospheric aesthetics.

If you are in the mood for something stirring and affecting, check “Candle” out.
