Dark Electro-Pop Siren Charli Lark announces her cover video of Empire of the Sun’s “Walking on a Dream.” This release is a follow up to her critically acclaimed single, “LIMBO” and its UK remixes, that received rave reviews from WONDERLAND and EDM.com, among others.
Bringing the energy of a strong woman that has fought her battles and risen as a phoenix from the ashes, Lark reveals, “Walking on a Dream has always made me feel so free and alive, such an optimistic confidence booster. It reminds me of the dreamy, intoxicating high of all-consuming love that lifts you up out of the mud and into a living dream. You don’t know how it’s real, but you don’t care, nothing else matters and you never want it to end. I’m a vivid dreamer and I really connect with how the song plays on that in-between space of dream and reality. I love an upbeat love song. I wanted to honor the vibrant drive of the song and amp up some ethereal lushness, drop even deeper into that otherworldly dream state. Lean into the introspection and beauty at the core of the original. Empire of the Sun are legends and it’s been so fun to cover an electropop anthem I love so much and give it my take.”
Lark continues, “It was so fun and invigorating to channel what the song represents to me and creatively bring it all together into a video. To capture that beautiful weirdness, unexpected surprise feeling like you’re walking around in your dreams. I wanted the visual to feel free, dreamy. I think we all could use a bit of that these days! I want the listener to be left with something that can truly take them away to a fun, care-free world and experience! I hope that is what people get out of this as that is how it felt making this video!”
At the heart of her work, Charli Lark aims to inspire through experience. Her music is designed to hit you in your core, while remaining intensely personal to her journey. “I want to make music that impacts, that makes a person feel, that carries my energy through to others, and maybe helps alchemize something within them.”
