This is everything a cover should be, and more. A world away from Todd Terje’s dancefloor-dominating disco staples, the track sees Bryan Ferry take on his late, great contemporary Robert Palmer’s vocal duties to achieve something serene, heartfelt, and respectful to the original. It’s blissful in its own right, also brandishing Terje’s knack as a canny musical curator, acting as conduit to Palmer’s fucking great original version. Taken from It’s Album Time, out this week.
