The Maccabees cover Adele’s ‘Hello’
Orlando Weeks and co. shine a light on a song that’s really struggling to shift units.
Adele’s ‘Hello’ remains a real under the radar single, but thankfully The Maccabees have given it some much-needed exposure with a Radio 1 Live Lounge cover.
Earlier today, Orlando Weeks and co. proved they have the ‘Marks to Prove It’ by bringing a new interpretation to Adele’s record-breaking chart-topper.
After playing ‘Spit it Out’ from their latest album, their ‘Hello’ rendition is a more stripped-back, introspective version to the original. Watch below.
The Maccabees are the latest band to face your questions in Popstar Postbag. Look out for the results in our November issue, out this Friday.
