Lights Announces New AM 444 EP with i_o for May 2020 Release

Canadian musician and singer/songwriter Lights has just announced a new EP titled AM 444, as well as the lead single from the project titled “Annihilation”. The song will be released on the 15th of May, with the EP following it two weeks later on the 29th.

In addition to the announcement of the project, Lights also let her fans know that electronic dance DJ i_o will also be featured on the EP. Lights and i_o have worked together before, including a collaboration with Deadmou5 at the Southside Ballroom in Dallas, Texas, in September of last year.

Lights took to Instagram to make the announcements about the new project. She first teased that a new project was in the works with i_o by posting a picture of a loading screen with i_o tagged, before releasing another post revealing what appears to be a short snippet of one of the new songs.

Lights most recently released a song with Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker in September of last year called “Live Long,” which was written as an ode to Lights’ debut album The Listening, which was released in 2009. She also released an acoustic version of her 2017 album Skin & Earth in July of last year. We spoke with Lights two years ago about her music, society, politics, comics books, and everything in between. You can read the full interview here.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
