Evie Irie covers Lana Del Rey's 'Norman fucking Rockwell' for Like A Version
First impressions are incredibly important and there's zero doubt that Evie Irie crushed hers with her debut in the Like A Version studio with this Lana Del Rey cover. The 22-year-old Darkinjung/Central Coast-born, LA-based singer-songwriter stepped up with her rendition of 'Norman fucking Rockwell' as a dedication to the artist she adores. "When I got asked to do this I was like 'yes!'," Evie said. "It's an ode to her. I just love her so much, she's everything to me. I just wanted to interpret it in my own way." Immersing herself in the lyrics to truly understand the thread Lana was weaving in her 2019 album of the same name, Evie Irie was able to take it all in and perform it with her whole chest while she was home from the US. Flanked by a full band (including strings!) Evie Irie builds the energy up and lets it fall gracefully throughout the cover. And who would have expected a Lana song to have gang vocals?

Behind Evie Irie's cover of Lana Del Rey's 'Norman fucking Rockwell' for Like A Version
Doing your debut Like A Version is definitely nerve-wracking for an artist, but doing a song by one of your absolute favourite artists for your debut LAV? That's a whole other level of fear. Evie Irie did just that. The Darkinjung/Central Coast-born, LA-based singer songwriter threw it all at the wall for her first entry in the Like A Version studio, tackling Lana Del Rey's 'Norman fucking Rockwell' with her own punchy indie twist. "I went to Coachella last year – sorry, Lana chella – and it was the greatest thing ever," Evie Irie said. "It was life-changing. I was bawling... sobbing... it was spiritually, chemically, unbelievable. When I got asked to do this I was like 'yes!'. "It's an ode to her. I just love her so much, she's everything to me. I just wanted to interpret it in my own way." Once Evie got deep into the lyrics and emotion of the track, she found that her love for Lana was unlocked even deeper. "Her artistry, her lyricism, goes so deep," she said. "And it's so smart and so beautiful and poetic in every single way. She just understands culture and history and is able to blend it all and merge it all together." Backed by a full band and strings, Evie Irie gave the track her own full-bodied energy, allowing it to build, soar and gently fall back down to its delicate, moody roots. An unreal debut from Evie Irie, we reckon Lana would love it, too. Posted 44m ago 44 minutes ago Thu 15 May 2025 at 10:30pm
