Lights - EDUCATION
Lights drops “EDUCATION,” the first taste of A6EXTENDED. Eight new tracks are coming next year—if this synth-pop banger is any clue, we’re in for something special.
The Canadian alt-pop singer-songwriter Lights released her sixth album, A6—named after the compact journal format—last May. But she’s not done with it yet: a deluxe version, A6EXTENDED, with eight new tracks, arrives early next year. Judging from the first single, “EDUCATION,” this isn’t a collection of leftovers: it’s a deep, synth-driven standout with 80s pop sparkle—think New Order, but with Lights’ unmistakable stamp.
Lights says about the new record:
The spirit and heart of A6 is in these new songs, it’s just an extension of its life. I feel like I understand the sonic and emotional intention in this album very deeply, so completing more songs that match the vibe was not complicated.
