Listen to Lucy Dacus’ Cover of Lady Gaga’s ‘Abracadabra’ on BBC Radio 1


Lucy Dacus put her own spin on Lady Gaga's 'Abracadabra' for BBC Radio 1. Listen to it here.

While Gaga’s version is punchy and anthemic, Dacus strips it back for hers, singing alongside a pianist and acoustic guitarist, opting for a more ethereal, atmospheric feel with soaring harmonies and a slowed tempo. “With a haunting dance, now you’re both in a trance/ It’s time to cast your spell on the night/ Abracadabra/ Amor oo na na/ Abra ca da bra,” she sings in the chorus. In the recreation of the track’s music video, directed by Parris Goebel — who also worked on the original — the fans have a blast while delivering a fierce, heartfelt performance of the Mayhem single’s choreo.
