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.
