Lights has shared the new song “Education.”

Today, electro-pop heavyweight Lights announces A6EXTENDED, a supercharged deluxe treatment of her latest album A6featuring eight brand new songs. The first single “EDUCATION” is out today alongside an accompanying music video that hints at plenty of easter eggs to be revealed within her A6 world. The track is a deep, synth-driven stand-out - a fun, mildly dramatic take on how love makes you grow and learn more about yourself.
 
“The spirit and heart of A6 is in these new songs, it’s just an extension of its life,” said Lights. “I feel like I understand the sonic and emotional intention in this album very deeply, so completing more songs that match the vibe was not complicated.”
 
Today’s announcement builds upon Lights’ sixth studio album A6, released in May alongside a stunning full visual album.  The music is her most deeply personal yet - entirely written and produced by Lights.
 
Making this album, Lights pulled from the full, beautiful, range of experiences that make life what it is. “Past lessons, grief and loss, personal growth in a world that wants you to stay the same, the bliss of sensuality, and the recklessness of love,” she expands. “It's everything you'd write down in a small A6-sized journal because saying it out loud is often somehow harder.”

Lights recently wrapped up a run of summer festivals, on the heels of her sold-out (A)LIVE AGAIN North American tour. This month she will be honoured at Billboard Canada’s Women in Music Event, where she will accept their first ever  “Visionary Award,” honouring her near 20 year career built on bold creativity, and redefining what it means to be an artist.
