Ariana Grande’s chart-topping song “Thank U, Next” has been stuck in our heads for weeks. The members of indie pop band The 1975 apparently feel the same way, and they just dropped an amazing cover of this empowering break-up anthem.
The English quartet recently made a stop at BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge to promote their third studio album A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships. Instead of simply performing a few songs from their latest record, the guys of The 1975 put aside a couple of minutes to pay homage to Ari.
“Grande is the main protagonist… in most people’s lives. She’s had a right old tough time and I like her a lot, and she’s got a great voice. And I don’t. So I’m gonna sing one of her songs,” said band’s frontman Matty Healy before delivering an amazing cover of “Thank U, Next.”
The 1975 version of the hit song is the perfect reflection of their funky sound, but it also features several gospel singers who provided backup vocals during the band’s Live Lounge performance. Grande seems to be in love with their cover of Thank U, Next just like the rest of us, and she even shared it on her Twitter.
