Sari Lightman's Haunting Ballad of Lost Love
Canadian indie musician Sari Lightman gives new life to an obscure Black Midi track in a breathtakingly beautiful ballad

Last month, Sari Lightman unleashed a mesmerizing debut with 'The Way I Saw You.' But what really caught our attention is that her new single 'Give It All Up' is an eerie, pulsing reworking of a 2013 track by the Australian electronic duo Purity Ring's side project, Black Midi. That's right, Lightman has given a new lease on life to a song she didn't even create herself โ and it's nothing short of genius.
The result is a haunting, introspective ballad that showcases Lightman's remarkable vocal range and emotional depth. The production, handled by Lightman & Lightman co-founder Tasseomancy himself, is equally impressive, weaving together lush synth textures and pulsing electronic beats to create a sense of longing and release.
It's a bold move, but one that pays off in spades. By reimagining someone else's song, Lightman challenges the notion of authorship and ownership, forcing us to rethink what it means to be a creator. The end result is a song that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable โ a true masterpiece.
