Siberia

Buyer Reviews

Lights creeped onto the scene in 2009 with "The Listening" a enjoyable, energetic, experimental debut album that had it's moments ("Savior"," Drive My Soul"), but had flaws that even Lights admitted earlier in the year, such as a tad as well considerably auto-tune even for her liking. Having said that, unlike most Artist that explode out of the gate with a giant debut album complete of hits, only to have the inevitable follow up album be full of uninspired dribble and filler, Lights saved her perfect for last - and it surely has payed off.
Enter Siberia. This album is remarkable follow up to her debut effort. It's polished, it flows from one particular track to a further, and diverse enough to maintain you listening on repeat for rather some time. The album instantly sucks you in with the hypnotic titled track "Siberia", a melodic track that showcases Lights soothing vocals to a tee - no screaming, no whining, no wailing vocals, just a good opening track that relaxes you and leaves you impressed when over. The leading single "Toes" is perhaps the catchiest song on the album, the bumping synths certainly gets the toes tapping, and you will have "Oh, you capture my attention" stuck in your head for the weeks to follow. It is borderline criminal. "Timing Is Almost everything" "Banner" "Peace Sign" are all terrific tracks, every single a single showcasing how substantially Lights as matured her sound and voice because 2009. If you have doubts about Lights vocal range, one particular only has to listen to the chorus to "Flux and Flow" a fat-sounding beat with some dubstep influence and an awesome chorus tends to make this one one of my favorites. "Fourth Dimension" has dubstep influence, but not overdone - which is a prevailing theme throughout the album, just sufficient to recognize, but not so much it drowns you out in disgust. These are just the tracks that caught my consideration.
In conclusion Siberia is one particular of my favorites releases to come out of the abysmal more than-saturated soup identified as the "Music Business" this year. The album is dark and moody, complete of dance tracks, however relaxing and calming adequate to leave you refreshed. Lights voice, though no Adele or some other high profile singer, is pretty soothing and soulful. Her sound is uncomplicated on the ears and doesn't scream for as well substantially attention. Siberia blends the soothing vocals perfectly with electronica, not one particular over-powering the other, which makes for an uncomplicated and accessible album to listen also. Lights is a right artist, who is prepared to fight tooth-and-nail to make an album that tends to make her pleased, not the bean counters (the business enterprise man) I hope Lights sticks it out for a third album, her talent would be deeply missed if she decides to pursue other interest.

By marrying massive, dirty synths and heavy beats with sweet vocals, Lights has produced what I think of to be the cutting edge of mainstream music nowadays. I assume she recognizes that dubstep is the latest evolution in music and by including it in tiny doses in her own function, it appears she wants to use it to generate however another transformation. And additional kudos for going independent!
