Biography

My name is LIGHTS. I'm a small girl who dwells in Toronto. I make music with a computer and a couple sweet synths. I also play whatever other sound makers I can get my pincers on. Making music has been my crutch/drug/vent/vice for my whole life. Most of what you hear starts, and is often finished, in my room (wherever that may be, I relocate like a hermit crab). When I write songs I think ... Read more in Amazon's LIGHTS Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent debut album of a great, new voice October 6, 2009
Format:MP3 Music
Solid first Dream/Synth Pop album from the wonderful singer-songwriter-keytarist LIGHTS (Valerie Poxleitner). Standout tracks, in my opinion, are "River," "Ice," "Second Go," "The Last Thing on Your Mind," "Face Up," "Lions!" and "Up Up and Away" (bonus iTunes track).

LIGHTS is the real deal, people. She uses various vocal tricks on the album, but I've seen her in-person live and on live video chats, and she can belt out a tune like nobody's business. She's already immensely popular in her homeland of Canada, and hopefully with this album can become a household name here in the United States. She definitely deserves it.

LIGHTS is now one of my three favorite things from Canada (the other two being the band Sloan and the fast food restaurant New York Fries).

5.0 out of 5 stars Lights is FANTASTIC!! October 6, 2009
Format:MP3 Music
I've downloaded many of these songs previously as EP releases and love all of them. This debut album has many new songs on it and they are all awesome. I recommend this album to anyone. She has a great voice, unique sound, and you won't be disappointed.

Other fantastic songs from Lights are: White, Drive Your Soul(one of my overall favorites), and I Owe You One.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frekin Fantastic! March 3, 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This girl really does some good beats, not to mention her perfect voice. This is what belongs on the radio, not the overrated celebs we know. She has super talent, and I am now an addict to her music

This album is fantastic! The music is simply beautiful and for me, it makes me smile every time I listen to it. Lights is unique and I hope she stays that way.

I am not Christian, and I don't typically listen to this brand of music.

I was on Pandora listening and one of this woman's songs came on. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, upbeat music
Lights has so much creativity and it shows in her music. She is a great electro-pop artist whom everyone should listen to. Her lyrics are positive and her music is worth your time.

This sort of electronic dance music is not usually my thing, but I love Light's voice, and her songwriting skills are undeniable. My daughter absolutely loves her. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album!
This is a wonderful album. Simply put, it's a great 'feel good' album and she's quite talented. If you like Owl City, this is a great band to get in to as well.
