X-Factor winner, Ben Haenow is sharing with us a STUNNING new cover of Blondie’s “Heart of Glass” and you are about to be just as obsessed as we are.
Showcasing that he has the power to make any song one of his own, he is giving us MAJOR vocals, while reworking the track to fit his style, voice, etc. Ben recorded his stunning rendition of ‘Heart of Glass’ exclusively for Double J Music’s new ‘Café Covers’ album, where he joins various other established artists on the record, including: Emma Bunton, Jack Savoretti and Matt Cardle.
“I wanted to do a chilled acoustic version of ‘Heart of Glass’ by Blondie because I’ve always really liked the lyrics to the song. I feel like they lend themselves to a more heartfelt and stripped back version of the original track. — It’s really cool to be featured on the ‘Café Covers’ album from Double J Music and to be alongside artists like Emma Bunton and Jack Savoretti.” Ben mentioned.
Ben stripped everything back and has accentuated the track’s poignant lyrics and transformed the original into something completely new, and absolutely killing it! Ben’s cover is available on Spotify as well. ‘Café Covers’ is available now on CD, vinyl and all digital platforms. Physical copies can be purchased online and in HMV stores across the United Kingdom.
‘Café Covers’ stormed straight to the top 10 of the iTunes albums chart in the UK. The record also reached number one on the iTunes pre-order chart in January. To accompany the song itself, Ben also premiered an official video for ‘Heart of Glass‘ on his Vevo channel. The performance-based visuals were filmed at The Ministry in London.
