London Grammar - Wrecking Ball (Originally by Miley Cyrus)


Verbalize what you will about its bold music video, but Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” is one of the best musical compositions of 2013, a monster pop ballad for the ages (and no doubt many karaoke nights to come). It’s no wonder, then, that acts from across all genres have covered it. Afore time we optically discerned HAIM Apply some generally guitar to the smash hit, then there was Angel Haze’s gorgeous, tearjerker rendition. During a recent stop at BBC Radio’s Live Lounge, London Grammar pulled out their own take on the chart-topper.

True to their sound, CoSigned UK trio take the track to a more tenebrous place, wrapping it in the haunting, all-consuming glow that dominated their excellent debut album, If You Wait. At times, frontwoman Hannah Reid gives Cyrus a clear run for her mazuma, her operatic vocals a striking cumulation of conviction, poise, and utter devastation. Listen and Download it below.
