_Bat For Lashes – “Strangelove” (Depeche Mode cover)

It seems like it’s been a while since I’ve mentioned or heard of Bat For Lashes. The most recent release she had was her contribution to the Twilight soundtrack, which wasn’t too long ago (but seems like it). Maybe her release of a Depeche Mode cover “Strangelove” (which is being used for a Gucci campaign) is hinting that she’s back on the scene with a new album or EP release.

I don’t know much of Depeche Mode’s music, and to be honest, I wouldn’t have known that this was a cover if no one mentioned it. Natasha Khan completely transformed it to not sound too disco-y. What’s funny is that when I listened to the original after hearing this, I noticed a striking similarity even though the styles are a bit different.
