LIGHTS SHARES “NEW FEARS” OFF HER UPCOMING ALBUM SKIN&EARTH, OUT SEPTEMBER 22
Skin&Earth Receives Early Praise from Buzzfeed, Forbes, Billboard, ELLE, Playboy, Departures, Idolator, Alternative Press and More
15 September 2017 (Toronto, ON) – Alt-pop musician and newly-minted comics artist Lights has shared her sultry new song “New Fears”, taken from the upcoming album Skin&Earth, out September 22, 2017 via Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. Skin&Earth features the anthemic single “Giants”, which continues to climb the charts at Hot AC radio, and Lights will celebrate the album’s release next Friday by kicking off her tour with PVRIS at The Novo in Los Angeles.
Early praise for Skin&Earth comes from:
“It’s time for Americans to fall in love with Lights.”
– Buzzfeed
“A creative, enthusiastic force”
– Forbes
“Concept albums are nothing new, but it’s the lengths to which Lights takes her fourth album Skin&Earth that sets it apart.”
– Billboard
“Lights…is a musician, and artist, and a comic book hero.”
– ELLE
“Real-life musical wonder woman”
– Playboy
“Lights is going all out for album four.”
– Idolator
“More pop siren than indie darling.”
– Departures Magazine
“If Lights isn’t already on your radar, you’re doing it wrong.”
– NKD Mag
“Comic books and new music from Lights is a pair that seemingly goes hand in hand, which is why we're still freaking out over…Lights' new project.”
– Alternative Press
“Lights has upped the wattage tenfold, cementing herself atop the pop pedestal and shining bright for all to behold.”
– Substream
Skin&Earth will be the fourth studio album from Lights and is her most ambitious project yet, merging her love for comics and music into an immersive, multimedia experience. Issue 3 of the album’s companion comic book series is on sale now via Dynamite Entertainment, and corresponds directly in story and theme with today’s new music release “New Fears”.
The Canadian singer and songwriter has won two JUNO Awards, including Best Pop Album of the Year for her 2015 release Little Machines, has sold out headline tours across North America and Europe, and played numerous festivals including Coachella and Reading & Leeds. Lights has toured with OneRepublic, Tegan & Sara, Paramore, Kaskade, and many others, and this fall joins PVRIS on the road in the U.S. as main support.
