The 1975 have shared brand new song ‘By Your Side’. The track, which was originally recorded by Sade, features heavy auto-tuned vocals reminiscent of Bon Iver.
Listen to a preview below, or the full track on BBC Radio 1‘s website.
The song was premiered by Mista Jam on BBC Radio 1 yesterday evening, ahead of the band’s intimate gig at the Dome in Tufnell Park, London.
The aforementioned charity gig is in aid of War Child and marks tonight’s Brit Awards. The Sade cover also raises money for the charity.
Meanwhile, The 1975’s Matty Healy recently revealed his plans to collaborate with Skepta.
He continued: “We’re going to do a tune together. We want to do like a ‘West End Girls’ Pet Shop Boys [kind of thing]. Maybe start a band, just me and Skepta do a band. Well we’re talking about it, so let’s see what happens.”
The Brit Awards take place tonight at The O2 in London.
