Arctic Monkeys // Katy On A Mission (Radio 1 Live Lounge Cover)

It’s always nice when one of your favourite bands covers a favourite song of yours, so I was pretty pleased when I heard that the Arctic Monkeys had covered Katy B in Radio 1’s live lounge today.

The band have a great history in the live lounge, and their cover of ‘Katy On A Mission’ is no exception to the rule. With heavy bass and Alex Turner’s swooning vocals, the Arctics add a vintage rock sound to the song, replacing that booming sub in Katy’s original. There’s still a bit of bass in the song, it’s just a lot more laidback and discreet. And as Fearne Cotton said, “didn’t see it coming”.
