SASAMI teamed up with music and mental health nonprofit Sounds of Saving and the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for a cover of Yeah Yeah Yeahs‘ essential 2003 hit “Maps.” The string-laden rendition is part of Sounds of Saving’s “Song That Found Me at The Right Time” series, and SASAMI talks a little about what the song means to her before and after her performance.

“I feel so lucky to have an art practice that allows me to go deep and process my emotional highs and lows,” SASAMI says. “I’m honored that SoS and 988 asked me to be involved — their work is so important. If you are facing mental health challenges, in emotional distress, or just need someone to talk to, text, call, or chat 988 for judgment-free support. You are never alone.”
SASAMI released her new album Blood on the Silver Screen in March, and she’s on tour supporting it now through the end of the month. See all dates below.
