The electro-pop renegade talks Björk, “barf buckets” and her intriguing new album, A6.
Valerie Anne Poxleitner is Lights, a Canadian electro-pop songstress who has just released her sixth album A6. She sat down with us to discuss how she became Lights, the burdens of touring as a Canadian in Trump’s annex-hungry America (warning: there are “barf buckets”), consensual hookups and loving Björk.
