Music Spotlight; Bats for Lashes Covers Kings Of Leon’s Use Somebody

11 Apr

I really like Kings of Leon, a lot but like a lot of artists — I’ll listen repeatedly for a period of time, and then move on. My Kings of Leon stage was several months ago…but today I heard Bat for Lashes cover of Use Somebody (one of my favorite tracks by KOL) and… nice! So nice it warranted another posting…

Her voice and the arrangement give the song/lyrics a whole new meaning hmm?

This was recorded on April 9th, inside the BBC Radio One Live Lounge…
Enjoy both versions…
