cover out. After their take on The Isley Brothers‘s Nobody But Me the picked a Marvin Gaye song.

‘THIS LOVE STARVED HEART OF MINE (IT’S KILLING ME) is a Gaye song which was released from the vaults of Motown in 1994. It’s sung now by Nic Chester who said: “Learning to sing a song like this and giving it the respect it deserves meant really studying
it with microscopic detail and then trying to forget it all again. The ease at which Marvin navigates his way through all the phrasing is so unbelievably effortless, I loved looking
at the work of someone that talented. You really recognize and appreciate the soul
of the man.”
