Turn on the Lights



So a of couple nights ago, I go into a late night mexican dinner at Sneeky Dee's after chillin' with some Degrassi dudes and my friend tells me something and I was like 'huh?' My friend was like casually,"Look it's Lights.' I looked behind and it was Canadian singer Valerie Anne Poxleitner who legally changed her name to 'Lights'. At only 23, Lights is a Juno winner. I love her hits including February Air, Drive My Soul, Ice and Second Go. Lights is a total sweet heart and very talented. She recently caused some talk when she appeared on MTV reality show 'The City.' She lost all her luggage and her manager and CBC broadcaster,Jian Ghomeshi. Jian is friends with fashion publicist and straight forward, Kelly Cutrone. Kelly offered to hook Lights up with some clothes. Whitney Eve Port who is the star of the reality series wanted Lights to wear her clothes. However, Lights wasn't feeling Whit's fashion line because it wasn't really her style. Nevertheless, Lights did end up wearing one of Whitney's jacket. But, due to some television editing, MTV made it seem like Lights didn't want to wear Whitney's Jacket, wore it for only a few seconds than threw it on the floor. This made everyone perceive Lights as a bitch for not supporting Whitney's fashion line. Nevertheless, that was not the case. In this exclusive interview with Lights she explains that the show made her seem like someone she wasn't and she actually wore the jacket for a few songs. Lights also talks about the release of her acoustic EP record and some tours that you should defiantly check her out at. Thanks Lights! I will mos def try the nachos next time!
