Watch Wolf Alice mash up Charli XCX’s ‘Boys’ and The Cure’s ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ for triple j
Returning the favour after Charli covered ‘Don’t Delete The Kisses’ on the same station.
Last year, Charli XCX headed to Australian radio station triple j and penned a cover of Wolf Alice’s ‘Don’t Delete The Kisses’ for the station’s long-running Like A Version feature.Over in the country for Laneway Festival this month, Wolf Alice have now returned the favour. The four-piece played their own version of ‘Don’t Delete The Kisses’, before taking on a cover of Charli’s classic ‘Boys’.Not only that, but they interspersed the synth line from The Cure’s ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ too, and it’s pretty bloody brilliant if we’re honest.After the Like A Version cover, Charli shared a proper remix version of ‘Don’t Delete The Kisses’ alongside Post Precious.Watch the triple j performances below, and catch up with our September 2017 cover feature with Wolf Alice here.
