Lights – Prodigal Daughter
Singer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, comic book author, DJ, artist, disruptor… You name it, Canadian alt-pop icon Lights is it. Also, she’s a musical chameleon, constantly combining and switching between alternative, indie, electronic and dance music. Never a dull moment.
‘Baby I’m back’, she sings on her catchy, haunting new single Prodigal Daughter. And indeed, following her recent collaborations with deadmau5, ILLENIUM, Travis Barker and more, Lights turns the spotlight back on herself. It’s the first track from her upcoming new album, which is due for release in 2022.
The artist says about the manic, high-energy track: “Prodigal Daughter is about stripping away all the deep-seated, oppressive expectations society and religion can place on you, in order to find out what you really want out of your life. Musically, the song is dynamic and wild; beautifully gentle at times and aggressive at others, representing the journey. Ultimately this is a banger about finding yourself.”
