I've had a promo of electro-pop broad LIGHTS' forthcoming album The Listening (out on Sire/Warner Bros. on October 6) sitting here for about a month or so, and I finally dug it out on Sunday.Listening to it kind of gives the same feeling as the first time I heard Michelle Branch's The Spirit Room many moons ago—I can't believe this surprisingly mature, dreamy pop music is coming from a 22-year-old!
There really isn't a filler track on the whole LP, and hopefully LIGHTS gets as much press and hype as La Roux, Lady GaGa, Little Boots, etc. Because she deserves it.
