Listen: Arctic Monkeys Cover Drake’s ‘Hold On We’re Going Home’
Alex Turner and co’s Drake take has to be heard to be believed.
Last time Arctic Monkeys decided to cover a chart-botherer they spun Girls Aloud’s ‘Love Machine’ on its head like a robot from 1984.
Now, the new, swaggered Monkeys have returned to the Radio 1 Live Lounge with one target in their sights: Drake’s ‘Hold On, We’re Going Home’.
Their rendition is a brilliant, disco-laden approach. They’re getting pretty good at this whole cover lark, are Arctic Monkeys.
Read DIY’s review of ‘AM’ and stream ‘Hold On, We’re Going Home’ below.
