As you may have heard, Spotify is gearing up for the Grammys by asking this year's Best New Artist nominees to cover songs by past Best New Artist nominees. Arlo Parks recently covered Kaytranada, Finneas recently covered Bon Iver, and now Japanese Breakfast (aka Michelle Zauner) has also covered Bon Iver. She took on the oft-covered "Skinny Love" from Bon Iver's debut album For Emma, Forever Ago, and it starts out pretty faithful to the original, until she brings in orchestral arrangements later on. It's a cool rendition, and it's great to hear Michelle's voice on this song. As part of the session, she also did a stripped-back version of "Be Sweet" from last year's great Jubilee. Listen below.
Japanese Breakfast also recently announced tour dates supporting The National, Florence + the Machine, and Courtney Barnett, and she also plays Coachella, NYC's Governors Ball, and other festivals.
