I adore Candi Staton’s track, You Got The Love. I love the version by The Source too.
However, as a massive Florence And The Machine I was reduced to tears when I heard her version of this beautiful song. The emotion in it and the words always get to me. But her version just…I have no idea, but I know it’s one of the best covers I’ve heard in a very long time.
What I love about this YouTube clip is how everyone in the audience has their hands in the air and belting it out with her. I wish I was there. I think I may have to spend £15 to see her on that NME tour..even though she’s the only act I like on the line up! If she played this I’d be a wreck. It’s a very special song to me, and to hear it covered so perfectly makes me stupidly happy.
You can get the full version off iTunes or if you buy her single Dog Days Are Over. It needs to make the album and be made into a single. People need to hear just how amazing and beautiful this cover is.
Her album is hopefully coming out in May. I cannot wait!
