Watch Lorde Cover James Blake’s ‘Retrograde’ For Triple J
New Zealander took on the king of fringe’s ‘Overgrown’ standout for ‘Like A Version’.

Triple J’s ‘Like A Version’ series is always a good way to check out massive artists covering other massive artists and subsequently setting the internet alight. Next week Chvrches visit the studio, so there’s every chance that’ll throw up something special.
Lorde covered James Blake’s ‘Retrograde’ during her visit to the Aussie station. She’s previously played the track at a New Zealand gig, but dodgy fan footage didn’t really do it justice. The below version is the closest thing you’ll get to a studio recording that, who knows, might eventually come out.
