Today is all about LIGHTS. My friend posted a video blog about her last night, and it reminded me how much of a womance I have with her. LIGHTS, born Valerie Anne Poxleitner, is a Canadian singer that is the most beautiful person ever. She grew up with missionary parents, so she traveled around the world at a young age. She, in her own words, has the style of “intergalactic-electro” music. One thing about her is that most of her music is acoustic. You’d think electro music would show that the artist has a bad voice and is trying to cover it with synthesizers and auto-tune, but LIGHTS is the opposite. I think her voice sounds better without all the equipment. She has such a pure, naked sound.
Other than her music, I’ve got to say the best thing about LIGHTS is that she’s such a luminous soul. Whenever she smiles, she LIGHTS the room up. Ha ha sorry…there’s another thing. She’s just like me. We both make awkward jokes and do weird things, but that’s just who we are. I like quirky souls. They keep things interesting.
LIGHTS is an rounded artist. Not just with music, she draws, paints, whatever. If you go to her website, you’ll see multiple animated pictures of her that she drew. I think that’s so fun because people tend to have a negative outlook on girls who game or like anime.
She is a girl with plastic toy guns hung on her walls. She has a combover. She has a pet tarantula, named Lance. She makes “sounds that seem like they could have been plucked from Saturn's rings or a meteor belt”. She is her own singer, songwriter, producer, stylist, and assistant. And she’s my favorite(:
Easiest blog ever.
She does have a great voice, is extremely beautiful and seems to be as unique as she is artistic. I'm not going to pretend I know a lot about her, because five minutes ago I had no idea who she was haha. But just your blog and the video you have a link to caught my attention. I will be sure to check out the LIGHTS show
ReplyDeleteI actually saw a video of her on facebook as well. She does have a good voice and is pretty talented. I just hope if she becomes famous she wont change her style.
