Watch Black Country, New Road cover Billie Eilish’s ‘Happier Than Ever’
Black Country, New Road have covered Billie Eilish‘s song ‘Happier Than Ever’ during a recent show on their current US tour.The rock band performed the track — the title track from Eilish’s 2021 album — at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom yesterday (September 5), adding new elements to the part-sombre, part-thunderous rendition.BCNR violinist Georgia Ellery introduces classical strings to the lullaby-like intro, before drummer Charlie Wayne belts out the song’s punk-pop latter half, with vocal assists from the rest of the band as they mosh on stage. The cover elsewhere enlists keys from May Kershaw and saxophone riffs courtesy of Lewis Evans.
