Canadian electro-pop heavyweight Lights is set to deliver a supercharged deluxe treatment of her latest studio effort with the arrival of ‘A6EXTENDED’, due January 30, 2026. This expanded edition features eight brand-new tracks that delve deeper into the raw, synth-driven world of ‘A6’, a project entirely written and produced by the JUNO Award winner herself. The announcement is heralded by the lead single “EDUCATION,” a shimmering, mildly dramatic take on the personal growth found within the “messy middle” of love. Building on the momentum of her sold-out (A)LIVE AGAIN tour and her recent ‘dEd’ and ‘PEP’ eras, this new chapter showcases the artist’s most deeply personal storytelling to date, pulled directly from the pages of her own A6-sized journals.
The release follows a historic milestone for the multi-hyphenate artist, who was recently honored as the first-ever recipient of the Billboard Canada “Visionary Award” during the Women in Music gala at Rebel in Toronto. Presented by longtime friend deadmau5 and rock legend Bryan Adams—who recently collaborated with Lights on the ‘A Great Big Holiday Jam’ project—the award celebrates her nearly 20-year career of boundary-breaking creativity. From her early synth-pop roots to her genre-spanning work with Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda and Travis Barker, Lights continues to redefine the modern artist’s path. Her upcoming international tour will bring the high-octane energy of ‘A6EXTENDED’ to major rooms across North America, including a stop at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena and Detroit’s St. Andrew’s Hall.
Across the 21-track collection, Lights balances the “bliss of sensuality” with the grit of real-life lessons, maintaining her signature blend of indie-pop earworms and atmospheric production. Tracks like “LEARNING TO LET GO” and “FINAL ROUND” highlight the technical evolution of her sound, while fan favorites like “CLINGY” and “ALIVE AGAIN” anchor the project’s emotional core. Whether she is exploring the “recklessness of love” or the quiet contemplation of grief, ‘A6EXTENDED’ stands as a definitive testament to her longevity and her refusal to rely on nostalgia. With her sixth studio album reaching over a hundred million streams, this deluxe expansion ensures that the world of ‘A6’ remains in heavy rotation well into the new year.
