Exclusive Live Shots: Canadian Electro-Pop Star LIGHTS Electrifies Baltimore’s Sonar

Lights Performs In Baltimore - Stacey Johnson/Neon Limelight

If the world of electro-pop is looking for a savior, it’s found it in LIGHTS. Not just because it’s the title of her US debut single, but because the 22-year-old Canadian sensation lives it, breathes it, and fights for it.

Along with unleashing her first full length album of synth-heavy sensitive yet kick-you-in-the-balls pop tunes on Tuesday (October 6), entitled The Listening, LIGHTS stars in her very own motion comic called Audio Quest: A Captain LIGHTS Adventure, showing on MTV and MTV.com.

LIGHTS rolled into Baltimore, MD on October 3 to play the second date of a 22-city US tour in support of The Listening. It was a city she longed to play after having to cancel earlier in the year due to illness — the only show she’s ever canceled. She made more than good on her promise to make it up to the crowd of fans that packed the standing room area only Sonar Lounge.

You don’t just see a LIGHTS show, you experience it. It’s like taking a voyage through a galaxy of sounds and emotions. With her beloved keytar in hand throughout most of the show, she performed album stand-outs like “Ice,” “River,” and “February Air,” which might be familiar to many TV viewers as it was used in an Old Navy campaign in 2008.
