Watch Lorde cover Bananarama’s ‘Cruel Summer’ at Primavera Sound 2022
Primavera Sound festival, Lorde delivered a cover of Bananarama’s 1983 hit ‘Cruel Summer’.The Kiwi singer has long been known to indulge in cover songs: in the past few months alone, she’s put her idiosyncratic spin on ‘Run Away With Me’ by Carly Rae Jepsen, ‘The End Has No End’ by The Strokes and ‘HENTAI’ by Rosalía.Her ‘Cruel Summer’ cover came exactly halfway through her Primavera set – which she performed on the Pull & Bear stage last night (June 10) – sandwiched between ‘Mood Ring’ from last year’s ‘Solar Power’ and ‘Liability’ from 2017’s ‘Melodrama’.Take a look at fan-shot footage of the performance below:
