Toronto’s Juno award winning LIGHTS released her first ever full length album “The Listening” on September 22nd. The album includes already known hits from her Self titled EP like “Drive Your Soul” and others. The first song on the record “Saviour”, a propulsive pop ballad that represents the essence of Lights. “My songs are spawned from moments of sadness or intense emotion,” the singer says. “‘Saviour’ is a big example of taking one of those really dark emotional situations and turning it into something positive. I just happened to get hit with a really dark sad night. The melody started coming together and the words started pouring out. I was crying when I wrote the first line of the chorus and it actually sounds kind of like crying. It’s a really, really powerful song for me”
The Listening hits stores October 6th in the States. And for all you Canadians who havent yet picked up a copy of the album, I suggest you do, its incredible!
