LIGHTS ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM ‘PEP’ ARRIVING APRIL 1ST

FEBRUARY 4, 2022 – Alt-pop icon Lights has announced her highly-anticipated new album PEP, arriving April 1^st. The news is heralded by the release of hypnotic new track “Salt and Vinegar,” which is accompanied by an official music video streaming now on Lights’ official YouTube channel. PEP is available for pre-order now via Fueled By Ramen.

Lights expanded, “I’ve never understood the task more than I did when I was making this record. My vision feels complete, and every single component comes from this very intense evolution I’ve experienced in my personal life over the last few years.” She adds, “We’re all products, we all market ourselves every single day. The idea behind ‘PEP’ is if you’re going to brand yourself, then brand yourself to happiness.”

In celebration of the record, Lights’ “Baby I’m Back” North American headline tour will kick off April 3 in Portland, OR, making stops at The Fonda in Los Angeles and New York City’s Irving Plaza before wrapping up in Toronto, Ontario on May 7^th (see attached tour itinerary). Tickets for all dates are available now. For more information, please visit www.iamlights.com.

In December, Lights shared the new track and video “Real Thing feat. Elohim.” The track followed fall single “Prodigal Daughter,” which drew praise from Consequence, who raved, “‘Prodigal Daughter’ is a driving, infectious pop cut that shows off Lights’ enigmatic and soulful voice… she’s never sounded so uninhibited.” Rock Sound celebrated the “vibrantly joyous” track and attested, “it’s Lights at her most dominant, confident and unstoppable.”

Lights also shared “The Clinic,” a new side story based off Lights’ Skin&Earth comic series. Written and illustrated exclusively by Lights herself, the entire story is available to read now at www.visittheclinic.com.
