Rationale is one artist who continues to amaze us with the power of his songwriting, his distinct tone and all-encompassing vocal delivery. New single ‘Prodigal Son’ is no exception. With the biblical implication laid out in the song title and the gospel hums accompanied by swaying percussion snaps, we can’t deny there’s something scriptural about this track, but it’s not the church where it belongs, it’s out there in the real world. What Rationale found when he was writing this highly personal song is that it applied to so many other’s family situations. As he explains ‘Prodigal Son’, is "an autobiographical song that came around accidentally. It explores my relationship with my biological father at first but if I'm really honest, it also explores the relationship that a lot of my friends have with their absent fathers.” - HT
