The album features a variety of artists, including Marmot, Denise, Hooded-Man, and raYx. It was released just a few days after Marmot's return to Germany
Both fans and Brazen himself are confident that it is his best work so far, containing several top tracks.
"Made Man (feat. Marmot)" quickly became a music video, followed by "Right There" in November. While it's perhaps the only "sad" song on the album, "Right There" is an honest portrayal of Brazen's struggles with depression and mental health.

However, "Good Old Time (feat. raYx)" is a nostalgic piece where Brazen and Ray reminisce about their teenage years, while "Pour Another Round" is a personal favourite of Brazen's, as it makes him feel invincible.
Dark Lights (Deluxe)
Marmot began working on a “Deluxe” version of his latest release "Dark Lights - EP“ towards the end of his stay in Latvia. The album, called "Dark Lights (Deluxe)", would contain many more tracks and be his first completely solo album.
Listeners can easily notice a shift in the album's mood compared to the EP.
As Marmot was preparing to move back to Germany, he added songs with an upbeat party vibe and uplifting lyrics.
Despite not being able to complete the album in Riga, Marmot took the almost-finished product to the studio of Brazen-Faced & Marmot in Germany during the Summer of 2021. Together, he and Brazen added finishing touches, resulting in an album that exceeded Marmot's expectations. The top three tracks on the album were "Fly High", "Rum", and the top song of the album "My Life", an uplifting track where Marmot talks about starting a new chapter in his life and focusing solely on his passion for music after losing time.
Dark Lights - EP
At the end of 2020, Marmot moved to Riga and set up a home studio so he could continue pursuing his passion for music. The result was his EP "Dark Lights," which he created and recorded entirely on his own. Despite the distance between him and his musical partner Brazen, Marmot sent his files to Brazen who then put the finishing touches on the tracks in their shared studio in Germany.
Throughout the EP, there's a palpable sense of darkness and intensity that reflects the emotional toll of their physical separation. Marmot laments the loss of their former carefree existence and expresses his deep desire to reunite with Brazen to create music together again. Despite the challenges, however, Marmot managed to produce a great EP that showcases his talents as an artist.
Furthermore, the EP features Brazen on three of its five songs, a testament to the enduring bond and deep musical connection between the two artists. Even though they were in different countries, they continued to create powerful music together.
"Dark Lights" was released in May 2021, and it's a testament to Marmot's creativity and resilience in the face of separation and distance.
