Beabadoobee Reinvents Bic Runga’s ‘Sway’ for ‘Like a Version’
Beabadoobee hit up the 'Like a Version' studios while in Australia to take on a beloved New Zealand classic.
Recorded during the 24-year-old singer’s latest trip to Australia as part of the Laneway Festival, Beabadoobee offered up two performances for the session, including her original “Beaches” and a take on Runga’s 1997 single “Sway”. “ I chose to cover this song because my mum used to play it a lot when I was growing up and I mean, she’s badass,” Beabadoobee explained in a post-performance interview. Back in October, she joined the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge to share her take on Sabrina Carpenter’s “Taste,” blended with a little bit of The Corrs’ “Breathless.”
