It’s true. We’re not ones to fall in love easily. The current object of our affections is Canadian Synth-Emo Poppette LIGHTS. Part of the Owl City contingent (see BBC’s Sound of 2010 longlist)she’s already massive big in the States/ North America.
Signed by Warner in Europe, LIGHTS does indeed err on the side of cutesy- complete with keytar and self-penned animations and headbands, it gets a bit much, especially in tracks such as ‘Saviour’ (below).
Mind you, she’s got a way with a chorus, and a precedent’s already been set…
