Already a Top 10 hit on both the Canadian album and the Billboard Heatseekers charts, ‘The Listening’ includes all of Lights’ homeland hits to date, including the MuchMusic #1 hit ‘Drive My Soul’, the #3 track ‘February Air’ and her UK introductory single, ‘Ice'. The album’s UK release adds two new songs – ‘Up, Up and Away’ and ‘White’ – as well as four exclusive acoustic performances.

"My songs are spawned from moments of sadness or intense emotion," explains Lights, a multi-instrumentalist who is proficient on guitar, piano and drums. “I sat back and listened to everything I had feverishly created over the past years, and I was happy. I realized I had discovered more about myself when I was just listening and creating music than from anything else.”
