Lights' debut album, The Listening, will always be a forever fave of mine. It was simply a perfect collection of electro pop, and by god, it's just as beautiful today as it was in 2009. I remember seeing the video for "Savior" on Much Music, back when there were still good videos on that channel, and simply falling in love with that raven-haired girl on the keytar. The video is still a favourite of mine, with the cartoonish sci-fi characters sprinkled throughout the three-and-a-half minute stretch. As a song, "Savior" is a delicate little thing, though it bursts with emotion and power when it's needed. To me, it's more electro than her later work, and that's what I enjoy the most about it. The synths...oh god, the synths. Bowie is proud of the synth work here, if he knows it or not. Now, get on with watching the video before I make you. It's all brilliant.
