Blues-rock duo THE KILLS – vocalist Alison Mosshart and guitarist Jamie
Hince – released their excellent 6th full length God Games last October.
Some time ago they did an acoustic session for Sirius XM Radio. One of the songs
they played was a cover of massive Billie Eilish hit Happîer Than Ever (more than
1,3 billion streams on Spotify).
And now we get a bluesy, electric version.
Sounds like Eilish wrote it for Mosshart.
Mosshart: “It’s all Sirius XM’s fault. We were asked to do an acoustic session with them last year and they’d asked for a cover as part of the session. I’d always really dug “Happier Than Ever” and found myself singing it around the house all the time. After that radio session hit the airwaves, we were asked us to do an electric recording. Here we were in London, recording a non-electric EP, and what’s the first song on it? An electric cover of the acoustic cover we did… and the more electricity, the better. Thank you, Billie, for writing such a brilliant song.”
