Regarding Follow the Light, Nilsson said that she was "a little bit disillusioned and confused about what [she] was going to do" after her previous album Europa (2009) had not sold as well as expected.[1] In 2022, Nilsson looked back fondly on the album, saying: "I’m very critical of almost everything I do, but when I look back on that album, I do think it’s a really fun one. I don’t think there’s one bad song on there."[1]
Themesedit
Memory has been cited as a central topic on Follow the Light, specifically on the songs "The Closest We'll Ever Get to Heaven" and "I'm Still Wearing His Jacket".[1]
Releaseedit
Follow the Light was originally self-released through Nilsson's label Dark Skies Association on CD on 7 June 2010. After the start of Nilsson's cooperation with Night School Records, the album was reissued on CD and released on vinyl in January 2017.[2] It was then released as a digital download on 3 February 2017.[3] A second vinyl repressing followed on 23 February 2019.[4][5]
Promotionedit
A short "infomercial" video for the album was released by Dark Skies Association on 8 August 2010.[6]
Robin Smith, in a positive review for Norman Records, called Follow the Light a "delight to listen to" and commended its musical cohesiveness.[8] In another positive review, Tim Sendra of AllMusic considered the album a "wonderfully intimate document of outsider art", while praising Nilsson's unique lyrics and musical evolution when compared with prior works.[7]
