Halsey swung by BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge, and covered The 1975’s ‘The Sound’. Pairing things back into a smoky ballad version, her own take on the ‘I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It’ also incorporates snippets of Ke$ha’s ‘Die Young’ - a subtle nod of support towards the pop star. Something of a cover version expert by now, Halsey previously slayed it with a reworking of Justin Bieber’s ‘Love Yourself’ on Triple J. The 1975 meanwhile are gearing up to release their ridiculously titled second album tomorrow. Read the DIY interview with Halsey here, and watch her Live Lounge cover below.
