Babe Rainbow cover Dido's 'Thank You' for Like A Version
Babe Rainbow parted the clouds and brought the sunshine in on Dido's 'Thank You', a track that always makes us think about grey, rainy days. In their Like A Version debut, the dreamy psychedelic Byron Bay band took the 2000s ballad (also sampled by Eminem in 'Stan') in from the cold, wrapped it in a towel and brought it a hot drink. With warm-toned acoustic guitar, fuzzy bass and delicate vocals, Babe Rainbow transported us from a dreary London street to the crystalline waters off the North Coast. "It was really nice, especially playing the nylon so low," guitarist Jack Crowther said. "It had this deep resonance and then when Angus [Dowling, singer], when we decided that was the key, his voice was weaving so nicely with the guitar. "It felt really cool, just him and I singing it." It's a gorgeous shift on Dido's original, feeling like the first touch of sunshine on your skin after a long, dark winter. We reckon this might just be the best day of their lives. Check out more from Babe Rainbow's mellow visit to the Like A Version studio below.

Ruby Fields covers The Cure's ‘Lovesong' for Like A Version
The antidote to your blues is right here with Ruby Fields – and her cover of The Cure's 'Lovesong'. In her big solo return to the Like A Version studio since 2019, Ruby and her beautiful band brought a raw-edged indie sound to the beloved 1989 gothic-rock track. "I think I was scared of choosing something I didn't feel passionately about," Ruby said. "We all kind of sat together and talked about bands that we loved. The Cure was this really unanimous thing that came up." Ruby said that being invited back into the Like A Version studio was the biggest honour, and something she doesn't take for granted. "I'm so humbled by the fact that we got to come back and give it another crack," she said. "That our music still gets played enough, or means enough, or something. It's a really cool thing." Come back any time, Rubes. Check out more from Ruby Fields' return to the Like A Version studio below.

Ruby Fields - 'Tackle Box' (live for Like A Version)
Ruby Fields brings a debut to the Like A Version studio with the first play of her new track, 'Tackle Box'. A deeply personal song dedicated to her late friend Connor Egan, this new track explores dealing with grief and loss at a young age. "Kind of coming terms with things like that when your brain's not even developed enough to understand," Ruby said. Sit with this one, it's real special.

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?
