As someone who stans artists like Britney, Carly Rae, Kylie, Girls Aloud, etc. would I enjoy Lights? I've heard good things about her discography but apprehensive about checking it out. 

Start with Little Machines, her sound is diverse but there's just something nostalgia etched in her music for some reason. This is coming from a Carly stan and other current pop girls too. It's good when you listen to other artist you're not familiar with and gets mindblown how good their music is! Lights is defo one of them.

Lights discography is pretty diverse. She's explored many genres and done them all well in my opinion, it may not all be to your taste as it sounds like you mainly enjoy pop but she has plenty of great pop leaning material that is worth experiencing.

Yes! Little Machines is one of the best pop albums of the 2010's. 
 

Siberia and Little Machines are what I'd recommend as first listens

 

ALIVE AGAIN IS SOOOO GOOD OH MY GOD

 

 

THIS MIGHT BE THE NIGHT THAT I DIE
AND I DON'T WANT TO DIE ALONE
SO COME A LITTLE CLOSER
I DON'T EVEN NEED TO KNOW YOUR NAME

I DON'T EVEN NEED TO KNOW YOUR NAME
I DON'T EVEN NEED TO KNOW YOUR NAME
I DON'T EVEN NEED TO KNOW YOUR NAME

 

 

Omg, I thought she'd said it would sound like 'Midnight' Machines

No wonder I was confused by the sound... Silly me

I love that we get some over the 4 minute mark!!

Her last album was pretty mid to me, but this one is shaping to be her best since Little Machines. 

 

I, I swear this isn't me
This is the damage talkin'
It's the damage talkin'
I, I swear (I swear) this isn't me
This is the damage talkin'
It's the damage talkin'

She's been hinting in her stories that White Paper Palm Trees is coming next!

both snippets in the insta/twitter post she shared today sound so f*cking good 

 

the first one lyrically calls back to February Air!

new single on the way

I'm so perched I hope it's more ballad-y atmospheric new wave Running with the Boys vibes 

Surface Tension and White Paper Palm Trees both coming on Friday! Surface Tension has more of the dark wave/post-punk vibe of the two singles we already have and White Paper Palm Trees has somewhat of a nostalgic new wave vibe 

Both of these sound really good. I'm nervous for the whole album but Damage is one of her best singles.

I couldn't get into her last album. Hope this one is a return to form!

Same, but so far this new album is better than the last and more similar to her past releases. 

Surface Tension and White Paper Palm Trees both sound so good. Can't wait for Friday. This has been her best run of singles imo!!

Thoughts on the better song WPPT or Surface Tension?  Both are so good. Maybe ST edges out WPPT for me. Prob depends on my mood though. 

White Paper Palm Trees is so f*cking good omg it's exactly what I've been wanting from her  I love when she goes nostalgic new wave vibes! Surface Tension is great too, a good continuation of the post-punk sound of the first two singles

White Paper Palm Trees is nice, a little throwback.
But OMG Surface Tension is so ******* amazing.

I've been so preoccupied with work I didn't even peep she had two new songs omg  Surface Tension is amazing and I'mma listen to White Paper Palm Trees next!
