Her new electro-pop project, <strong>Lightyear</strong>, is catchy, yet dramatic, and shows her as graceful, but still vulnerable about her emotions. Drawing from influences like <strong>Emily Haines</strong>, <strong>Feist</strong> and <strong>Robyn</strong> while also tapping into her own technical skills — she’s a classically trained pianist and studied film scoring at the Berklee School of Music — Zettler is able to create beautifully fragile moments that build up to powerfully stirring points. </p> <p><strong>Discover more great music on <a href="http://blip.tv/btrhearandthere/it-beats-by-lightyear-btr-hear-there-ep51-5853871?utm_source=tumblr&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_campaign=social" target="_blank">BTR Hear & There</a></strong></p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p>Just, wow.</p>http://fuckyeahlaurenzettler.tumblr.com/post/15631663507http://fuckyeahlaurenzettler.tumblr.com/post/15631663507Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:46:53 -0500laurenzettlerlightyearamazingthreepiecewowartmusicsongit beats<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwqtb4w5C01qder7fo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>By Grace Brown</p>http://fuckyeahlaurenzettler.tumblr.com/post/14754521700http://fuckyeahlaurenzettler.tumblr.com/post/14754521700Sat, 24 Dec 2011 23:47:28 -0500laurenzettlergracebrownbeautifulphotophotographymusicianlightyear<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/33196688?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://iamlightyear.tumblr.com/post/14173698947/it-beats-video-premiere-via-american-songwriter" target="_blank">iamlightyear</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>IT BEATS VIDEO PREMIERE via <a href="http://www.americansongwriter.com/2011/12/video-premiere-lightyear-it-beats/" target="_blank">American Songwriter</a>.  Reblog!</p> <p>Filmed and edited by Kristen Winter//Produced by The Girlfriend Collective</p> <p>Additional art direction by Lauren Glucksman//Hair+Makeup by Deborah Lopez</p> <p>Helping hands by Erin Bockman and Jenna Ruggiero</p> <div><span><br/></span></div> </blockquote> <p>Watch to see the best music video ever made!
