Cover girl: Charli XCX has covered Wolf Alice’s ‘Don’t Delete The Kisses’

It’s, er… different?
Offering up one of the more bizarre cover versions of recent months, Charli XCX has popped onto Aussie station Triple J’s Like A Version to dish up her take on Wolf Alice’s giddy love song ‘Don’t Delete The Kisses’.
Turning the stream of consciousness epic into a highly auto-tuned pop number, the result is, er… interesting? You can’t really hear any of the lyrics, and Ellie’s doe-eyed sentiments come off more like a cold-hearted ice queen in the hands of our Char, but hey - you cannot fault the originality of it all.
It’s also a highly appropriate track for the singer - who also announced her latest mixtape ‘Pop 2’ today - to be tackling. After all, if you deleted the kisses from XCX, she’d just be Charli C.
Listen to the cover below.
