CHVRCHES cover Kendrick Lamar 'LOVE.' for Like A Version

[@chasingrabbits1923]

THIS is how you do a cover. So different that it’s almost unrecognizable, yet it still keeps the message and emotion of the original. Absolutely outstanding. Chvrches never disappoints with their covers.

Sounds pretty recognizable to me

[@notsure7318]

It’s awesome to watch Lauren when she is feeling a song and breaks out into a few quick dance moves. Her voice is amazing and the band does a great job of adapting covers and writing their own music to highlight her vocal strengths. Her vocal ability has improved steadily over time showing her dedication to practicing and perfecting her craft. They keep getting better as their music adds complexity and her voice becomes more angelic!!!

[@fwir711u2]

She has a solo album out soon from what I hear. It sounds like it'll be pretty good judging by what she has released so far

[@alishamthiel]

I’ve been listening to this cover for years. Literally heard the original Kendrick for the first time today.

[@cohecency7288]

That’s wild! 😮

[@tomorrowsdream9184]

Same here. I didn't hear the original until 8 months ago. But this version, OMG ❤ It's special to me

[@summerdarkness]

when Lauren starts singing "LOVE ME" I'm like, oh honey how could we not! Her vocals are really improving more and more. It is such a treat to hear her fine tuning the instrument her voice is , in real time. Keep it up Lauren. Also if this is the closest we are going to get to an actual duet with Martin and Lauren , I will take it!

[@benedux]

I have to admit she couldn't sing live for shit. Look at her now. Flawless.

This is such an uplifting take on a great song. Lauren’s voice has gone to the next level in the last couple of years.

[@jackquinn4363]

It's funny how you picked up on the genius of Kendrick from this song. This isn't like the rest of his songs. They are far more intricate and tough to understand exactly what he is talking about because he is so intelligent and communicating on a higher level than most. Go listen to maad city

It's very subtle but I love that moment at like 1:20 when Lauren sort of roles her eyes. Even though this isn't "her song" you can see the connection she's making with this song and it turns into something new. Like how when Trent Reznor talked about hearing Johnny Cash's version of Hurt. That's really what makes a great cover and songs in general I guess.
