LIGHTS - "Ice" Official Music Video

LIGHTS | MySpace Video

Check out the brand new video from our favorite keytar-weilding, comic book-writing, video gaming, graduate from the Warped Tour school of badass: LIGHTS. Like the heroine she plays in Audio Quest: Captain LIGHTS Adventure, it's once again a battle between good versus evil, but there's a twist - she's both! Does good prevail? See for yourself

BRIGHT LIGHTS

Keytar-wielding synth-pop sensation LIGHTS has announced a US tour with Owl City. The nationwide string of dates, which follow her first ever headlining US tour, kick off January 21st in Kansas City, MO and run through February 10th in Little Rock, AK. A special MySpace ticket presale will begin on Friday, October 16th, and general onsale will begin Saturday, October 24th.

LIGHTS debut full-length album The Listening is out now on Warner Bros Records. The 22-year-old Toronto singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist crafts her own brand of sparkling, otherworldly electro-pop that is, in her words “soft, but not pussy-soft, you know?” LIGHTS’ songs have already garnered over 17 million plays on MySpace, and on the strength of her self-titled EP alone, LIGHTS won the 2009 JUNO for New Artist of the Year.MTV has also embraced LIGHTS.

She is starring in Audio Quest: A Captain LIGHTS Adventure, a short-form motion comic series that features the art of comic book artists Tomm Coker and Daniel Freedman. Each Audio Quest episode, of which there will be ten in all, follows Captain LIGHTS as a super-hero on a galactic adventure to restore sound to the universe. The series premiered September 28, 2009 on-air during MTV’s AMTV and online at MTV.com.

Audio Quest is a natural evolution for LIGHTS: a talented visual artist herself, she is no stranger to science fiction and the world of comics AUDIO QUEST: A CAPTAIN LIGHTS ADVENTURE (Created in Conjunction with Marvel Comics Tom Coker) ISSUE 3 PREMIERES TODAY!!!http://www.mtvmusic.com/playlists/mtvm/?contentId=1623095

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION

LIGHTS, the Toronto singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist crafts her own brand of sparkling, otherworldly synth-pop thanks to her knack for the keytar and upbeat melodies. With songs that have already garnered a collective 15 million plays on Myspace, LIGHTS was also awarded the 2009 Juno (the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy Award) for New Artist of the Year.

Her first full collection of music, The Listening, which drops October 6th via Warner Bros. Records, expands on her sound, which she calls “inter-galactic electro” and describes as “simple lyrics juxtaposed with sounds harvested from the far reaches of my alternate universe.” The album includes a few songs already familiar to die-hard LIGHTS fans, as well as plenty of new material including the first single, "Saviour," a propulsive pop anthem that represents her charming musical essence.

In celebration of her forthcoming debut, fans can now exclusively stream her latest EP via Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/lights). The Saviour EP, which features remixes from fellow Canadian upstarts, Colin Munroe and The Angry Kids, is also now available for purchase on iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=329072364&s=143441).
