Introducing LIGHTS, a video done by MySpace.  A leadup video to the US launch of her album, The Listening (which has already come out in Canada). She talks about her music, her move to Toronto, and the start of her music career.

LIGHTS was at MuchMusic yesterday performing and getting the word out about her new album. Two of the performances were on TV and a third one published online only:

Saviour

Drive My Soul

River (online)

LIGHTS released her new album today, The Listening, which is available on iTunes. It’s her first full album, which includes many of the songs previously released and quite a few new ones.

Sadly the acoustic version of The Listening is not on the CD.

"Saviour" Music Video

LIGHTS has released her video for the new Saviour single. This is the first single that is part of her first full album due out in a few months. The full video is up top, and a “making of” from her video blog is below.

Danger Mouse, one half of the group Gnarles Barkley, was going to release a new album titled “Dark Night of the Soul”. However disagreements with his record label had prompted him to release only a blank CDR, but complete with liner notes, a book and case will be sold. The case will be labeled “For Legal Reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will.”

In the meantime, the complete album can be heard at NPR, who is broadcasting the album as a stream. It’s currently the most popular content on their website. A good use of public broadcasting, if you ask me. Check it out at NPR’s website.

I haven’t posted much about LIGHTS because now she has her own blog (and a great video blog, at that), however she posted a new song which isn’t available anywhere on it, so it’s good to share.

LIGHTS’ VIDEO BLOG 29

This clip of the ending credits of an anime named Ride Back caught my attention. I like it – it’s impossible to find a track of it on this side of the pond. It’s called Kioku (Memory) by Younha feat. GOKU and is actually a Korean artist (k-pop) yet still featured in a Japanese anime.

This is a live version of the same track:

LIGHTS won the award for “New Artist of the Year” at the Juno’s tonight.

LIGHTS has a new video out, on MySpace video for now – not sure if it’s hitting the TV or not, but it’s cute. Check it out below:

Lights “Ice”

One day early, the new LIGHTS video hit the “InterWeb” on MySpace. Hopefully a YouTube HD version comes next. Check it out below:
