Willow has covered Yungblud’s track ‘The Funeral’ on BBC Radio 1 – check out the video below.The Los Angeles singer-songwriter collaborated with Yungblud (aka Dominic Harrison) on his song ‘Memories’, which appears on the latter’s recent self-titled third album.Today (September 29), Willow put her own spin on ‘The Funeral’ as part of a two-track set for this year’s Live Lounge Month.
She transformed the gritty pop-punk anthem into a laid-back acoustic number.“I just love the lyrics; I love just the vibe that he’s giving on this song,” Willow explained of her decision to cover the single.“It feels very like Billy Idol to me.
I just love the vibe that [Yungblud] has. And I learned it on acoustic guitar a few months ago and was just like, ‘I really love that song, so why not do that’.”The musician continued: “I had to bring out the upright bass, y’know… give it a different vibe.
Doing it in such a different way… it just fills my heart. I’m so happy.”Additionally, Willow treated listeners to a live airing of ‘Curious/Furious’ from her fifth album ‘Coping Mechanism’, which is out next Friday (October 7).
