“Kinder (Don’t Let Your Light Fade)” from London-based Sylvia Yau and German producer FloFitz wafts from the speakers as if leafs floating on a soft breeze. A seductive beat underpins Yau’s lush vocals, which promote a simple formula: Love + respect = kindness. It’s a simple thing, really, yet one that too many fail to appreciate. It’s a song that I’ve had on a loop for much of the past week—I play it once, I play it twice then thrice, tapping my feet to the beat, and thinking good thoughts. It’s the ultimate mood boost.
On Instagram, Yau writes that it’s “a song for anyone who believes that we can be the kinder generation; to step into each new day with love and compassion and to be the healers and the menders. To be amazing and to never let your light fade.”
