Now this is how it’s done. We figured that no matter the song Julia Jacklin decided to tackle for this morning’s triple j Like A Version, it’d be in very safe hands, and we weren’t wrong.

Thoughtful, transformative covers like these are what Like A Version is all about, so give this one a spin below.
