Carla Wehbe covers ABBA's 'The Winner Takes It All' for Like A Version
Take a moment to let Carla Wehbe's version of ABBA's 'The Winner Takes It All' really soak in. Right to your bones. Close everything else and just let this wash over you. That's how good it is. It's not often we get a full-blown goosebumps sesh in the studio, but this is certainly one for the books. Surrounded by a string section, backing vocals, her band and a pedal steel guitar, the Eora/Sydney-born Carla flexes her powerful and considered vocals in this stunning performance. Literally full body shivers . "They're one of my biggest inspirations," Carla said. "I grew up listening to ABBA, my mum is obsessed with ABBA. So it was just a song that soundtracked my growing up, I guess. And I always dreamed of doing an ABBA song if I ever got to do Like A Version." That deep emotion comes through so clearly in Carla's performance. Coming from deep in her soul and delivered with conviction, you can feel the years of shared love of the Swedish band radiating out of this one. We can only bet that Mama Wehbe is going to be really proud of this performance from Carla. Hopefully she's singing and dancing along, too.

Behind Carla Wehbe's cover of ABBA's 'The Winner Takes It All' for Like A Version
Carla Wehbe was locked and loaded with her choice for her debut Like A Version, it wasn't going to be anything other than the band who sound tracked her childhood – ABBA. "My mum is obsessed with ABBA," she said. "I've always dreamed of doing an ABBA song if I ever got to do Like A Version." While she didn't grow up in a house that always had music playing, it's in the older eras of music where Carla found comfort and joy. So it was only natural that she honour that with her entry into the Like A Version archives. Carla's version of ABBA's 1980 power ballad leans more into the sentimental and self-aware energy at the end of a relationship, harnessing the emotions with swelling strings, steel lap guitar and Carla's weapons-grade vocals. "I love drama and I love big orchestral feeling," she said. "I love strings and I love pedal steel, so I got all the instruments that I love the most and put them in there. And then I wanted to make it as emotional and powerful as possible." There's no doubt this cover is brimming with emotion and power, it's knocked the wind right out of us in the best way.
