“And the root of Apollo—the god of light, of course—in that root is not only ‘my god’, but also ‘to destroy’. So she is, in one fell swoop, by shifting the inflection very slightly, saying to Apollo both ‘you’re my god’ and ‘you’re my destroyer’.”

—Jenkins on adapting an Ann Carson poem about Apollo and Cassandra into the title of this album.[1]

My Light, My Destroyer is the third studio album by American pop musician Cassandra Jenkins. It is her first release on Dead Oceans[2] and has received positive reviews from critics who have praised her songwriting, evolution as a musician from her previous work, and the cosmic themes on the songs, written with a metaphorical overview effect that discusses personal emotions.[3]
