Lily Allen shares thoughts on Beyoncé’s “weird” cover of ‘Jolene’
Lily Allen has shared her thoughts on Beyoncé’s cover of Dolly Parton‘s ‘Jolene’.Despite, Parton hailing Queen Bey’s version of the track, Allen said she found it “weird”.Speaking on her Miss Me? podcast, she said: “It’s very weird, that you’d cover the most successful songs in that genre. It’s quite an interesting to do, when you’re trying to, like, tackle a genre and you just choose the biggest song in that genre to cover.“I mean, you do you, Beyoncé – and she literally is doing her, but why is she doing Dolly?”Allen did though say she had not heard ‘Cowboy Carter’ in its entirety yet.She added: “I’ve heard a few bits, I listened to the Miley Cyrus one and I listened to the ‘Blackbird’ one, which is the Beatles cover.
