Rostam released his debut album ‘Half-Light’ a little earlier in the year and he recently popped by the studio at SiriusXMU to play a little stripped-down set.
As part of the performance, he decided to take on a Bob Dylan classic, ‘Like A Rolling Stone’. He swaps the slightly ramshackle nature of Dylan’s original for stately, yet very slightly wonky piano, and his own voice, which quivers and brings the emotion out of the tune.
Back in September, Rostam took his baroque-influenced single ‘Gwan’ to Conan, performing with a string orchestra.
Listen to Rostam cover Bob Dylan below.
