Florence and The Machine dropped by BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge yesterday, and when it came time to drop the requisite cover song, the English band made an interesting choice. Forgoing cred-establishers, they hopped on a version of Jack Ü’s inescapable Justin Bieber collaboration “Where Are U Now?”
Welch and friends retooled the song to sound like just about every FATM track, slow builds and vocal gymnastics abound on their version of the EDM song. Check out the cover up top and listen to their whole set below.
Florence and The Machine also played “Ship To Wreck,” “What Kind of Man,” “Queen of Peace,” “Sweet Nothing” and “Delilah.”
