"Light of My Life" is a song by British singer Louise, released as her first single as a solo artist following her departure from Eternal earlier that year. Released on 25 September 1995, the song reached number eight on the UK Singles Chart and number 18 in Ireland. A music video was made for the song, directed by Russell Young.[citation needed]
Critical reception[]
Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "For her debut single, Louise, once a member of Eternal, cites Stevie Wonder and Quincy Jones as major influences. This smooth ballad, penned by producer Simon Climie, is certainly a change from the up-tempo energy of Eternal."[2] British magazine Music Week commented, "Not the most auspicious start to Louise Nurding's post-Eternal career; a disappointing track that may do well but is unlikely to have Eternal worrying too much."[3] Mark Sutherland from NME desscribed it as a "Mariah Carey-esque ballad".[4]
