Jagara reveal James Blake cover of 'Retrograde' - premiere
Something for the weekend
London based band Jagara have unveiled a haunting cover of James Blake's "Retrograde", which you can hear first via The Independent.
The trio comprised of three sisters, named after an anime goddess from Thundercats, released their debut single "Let Me Go" in 2016 and have since gone from strength to strength.
Check out their cover below:
It's a tough thing to make a song by another artist your own, particularly when it's as well-known as this, but Jagara pull it off.
They remain mostly-faithful to the instrumentation but add some more from their own influences - you can hear the 80s synth vibe come through beautifully.
Jagara's new single "Real Love" is out now - they perform at Hoxton Square Bar and Kitchen in London on 17 October
