A6 (album)

A6 is the sixth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Lights. The album was released independently on May 2, 2025 and follows her fifth album Pep (2022) and its re-imagined version, Ded (2023). Five singles with music videos were released in promotion of the album, and embarked on the (A)live Again and Come Get Your Girl Tours in 2025 and 2026 respectively.

An extended version, titled A6Extended, was released on January 30, 2026 containing eight additional songs, with "Education", "Learning to Let Go", and "Come Get Your Girl" released as singles.

Background

As her first independently released album, A6 was also the first album where Lights played almost every instrument on and produced every track. This made the album very personal for her. She further explained the background of the album in an interview with Songwriter Universe:

Critical reception

A6 received positive reviews from critics. Matt Collar of AllMusic gave the album a 3.5 out of 5 star-rating and wrote that "At the center of A6<nowiki/>'s black lipstick-stained, glitter-goth atmosphere is Poxleitner with her throaty coo, sounding as vulnerable and utterly in charge as ever.". He praised the songs "Surface Tension", "Alive Again", "Damage", and "White Paper Palm Trees".
