Lights definitely is not new on the pop music scene, but she is fairly new to my music library. My oldest brother has been listening to her music for a while now. Before I had heard her music here and there when I got in his car or went to visit him, but recently I cannot stop playing her songs.
Lights has been releasing amazing albums since 2008, whether it be a new album or an acoustic version of one of her albums. It honestly doe not matter which, because it is always guaranteed to be amazing. As my brother says, "she makes acoustic albums at the quality that she makes babies." But, seriously, her baby Rocket is adorable and I could probably write an entire blog post about their amazing little family.
Anyway, I am currently obsessed with her album "The Listening." There are so many songs on this album that I can listen to on repeat and never get tired of them. The song "The Listening" is a song that I identify with so much it is insane. Lights has a way of writing songs that have positive messages in them while still connecting with some of the downsides of having anxiety and whatnot. She is another artist that gets it, and that is one of the reasons I love her.
Normally, I would try to come up with a song or video to post in order to give a sample of her work, but it is so hard to pick one! Go ahead and look up any song by her and I promise that it will be a great experience, no matter what.
