Lights Releases Two New Songs “WHITE PAPER PALM TREES” & “SURFACE TENSION”
Canadian electro-pop singer-songwriter Lights released two new songs “WHITE PAPER PALM TREES” and “SURFACE TENSION” on April 4, 2025.
Two songs were taken from her upcoming sixth studio album “A6”, which is set to be released on May 2, 2025.
Both songs were written and produced by Lights, who also directed music videos.
Lights said of two songs, “I couldn't decide which song to release because I feel like both appeal to such different sides of the fan base. I had the idea to release both simultaneously and let the fans decide where they stand.”
She continued, “Was sooo cool to have this crazy duelling videos idea one day and then within a few weeks be standing in a studio making it happen. To be honest I didn't know it was even going to work until I watched my rough first edits side by side. And I was SHOCKED. hope you love the experience as much as I did making them. I hope you remember that ideas are only ideas until you take them out of your head and into the real world, and you won't know til then what you're capable of.”- The new album comprises 13 songs, written and produced by Lights. It is her first album in three years since the 2022 album “Pep”.
Lights said of the album, “A6 is exactly what it says it is: album six. In this landscape I realize it's a flex to make it this far doing what you love - not just in this industry, but in life. I've given most of my years to the creation of something beautiful and affirming and transportive. It's my humble offering to the world. So if you've been with me for all six or just joining me now, I hope you find comfort, empowerment, solace, and escape in all that I have coming for you. It's equal parts new and old lights, midwest emo, synthwave soundscapey and new wave born again.” - source : Apple Music
