Listen: Chvrches Cover Janelle Monae’s ‘Tightrope’

Chvrches seem to have the magic touch when it comes to covers - we’re looking at you, ‘Stay Another Day’ - and they’ve proven it all over again with their new rendition of ‘Tightrope’.

Taking on the Janelle Monae ‘ArchAndriod’ classic and truly putting their musical stamp on it, the band showcased it live at Billboard Magazine’s ‘Women In Music’ event, which saw the Electric Lady herself in attendance.

Check out the performance below, and keep watching until the end to see Janelle’s reaction to the re-imagined version.
