The seasoned performer creates a night to remember.
Lyrically playful and none too serious, Lights Out will brighten up the winter.
"Instead of thinking, ‘I’m going to write about love’, ‘I’m going to write about this’, I was, like, ‘I’m going to write a song where I hit a low A and a high C’, you know what I mean?"
"I was married last year, and I feel like a lot of the songs on the record [are] about the idea of feeling like a person again after not for so long. I feel like that happens when you meet the person that you love; it kind of puts all those pieces in the right place."
Not that she’s become a roaring rock singer of course, but there’s a confidence that allows for big choruses and notes that reach out to better express the human emotion behind the lyric.
