Pedro Barbosa’s ‘We Are Light’ : An uplifting pop anthem glows with heart, unity and vocal warmth
With ‘We Are Light’, Pedro Barbosa returns not only as a seasoned singer-songwriter but as a messenger of hope. Created in collaboration with RADA Unearthed and featured on Volume Three of their ongoing compilation project, the track leans into the power of pop as a vessel for social unity – offering listeners an inspiring reminder that collective strength and empathy can drive change in a fractured world.
From the first bars, ‘We Are Light’ radiates warmth. Built around a soaring pop structure, it carries the rhythmic familiarity of a contemporary chart anthem, but with a heart firmly rooted in its purpose. Barbosa’s voice is the guiding force throughout—smooth, rich and unmistakably passionate. There’s something quietly magnetic in how he delivers each lyric, making even the grandest lines feel intimate rather than overstated.

The production, helmed by Mark Beling, is clean and uplifting; layered synths, tight percussion, and anthemic crescendos that build to a chorus designed to stick. It’s the kind of track that wouldn’t be out of place on a festival stage or in a motivational montage, but there’s sincerity in its message that lifts it above pure feel-good fluff.
Barbosa’s belief in unity, dignity and self-worth runs through every aspect of the track. His long-standing work with RADA – a non-profit tackling issues such as abuse and addiction – deepens the impact. ‘We Are Light’ isn’t just a call to kindness; it’s a contribution to a larger mission. All royalties from the track feed back into RADA’s community programmes, adding a tangible layer of meaning to its melodic optimism.
In a world where pop often leans into escapism, Pedro Barbosa offers something different—music as motivation, grounded in conviction and soul. ‘We Are Light’ feels like more than a single; it’s a rallying cry with its own quiet power.
