Lights - The Listening
Just 22, Lights (born Valerie Poxleitner in Timmins, Ont. to missionary parents) is a wunderkind. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist who writes, records and co-produces all of her music, she won the New Artist of the Year at the 2009 Junos with just a six-song EP under her belt. Now the electro-pop star, managed by CBC’s Jian Ghomeshi, displays an adventurous spirit on her full-length debut, with thoughtful songs like “Saviour” and a sweet, otherworldly sound she calls “soft, but not pussy-soft, you know?”
