Bat For Lashes – Use Somebody (Kings of Leon Cover)

Bat For Lashes Use Somebody (Kings of Leon Cover) covers
[rating:72/100]
PMA fave stopped by BBC Radio 1′s Live Lounge not too long ago and delivered a beautiful cover of Only By The Night-highlight, “Use Somebody.” breathes new, minimalistic life into “Use Somebody.” Listening to Caleb’s voice on the original make me yearn for a duet between these two artists. Natasha Kahn’s butterly smooth vocals will simply melt alongside Caleb Followill’s powerful instrument.

In my honest opinion, no cover will best the version — filled with a storm of lusty, longing vocals. ’ cover is a great change of pace and is in no way a disservice to the song, but acts pretty well as a foil to the original.

Catch the cover and a bonus “lo-fi” version of Natasha’s amazing “Daniel,” all after the jump.

    Yeah, I heard this a while ago and to be honest I think it blows, Bat for Lashes is great but I can’t stand this cover. The original is great though.

    Daniel is such a great song. It’s already candidate for 2009 list of best songs imho.
