Never really listened to him, but I'm a Bat For Lashes fan and I really like his version of Daniel. I've been enjoying hearing it on the radio. I feel like we never really appreciated him now. I remember people making fun of his Light My Fire cover on the first Pop Idol, but that was a really quirky choice when you think about it. And a lot more interesting than just ..some generic Elton John song or whatever you'd expect him to have done.

That Richard X produced single he did what I thought was recently but was 10 years ago for fuck's sake was pretty good. Seems like a nice guy. Hope he doesn't massacre Indestructible as it's one of the Robyn songs I like most.

All Time Love is a good ballad if you like that kind of thing.

And he does seem like a decent person.

But I'll pass.

What I like about this album so far is that it's stripped-down/quieter versions of songs I like but were originally more synth/pop-ish. That's what I'm liking about the Daniel cover (which is a song I already loved)

Didn't realise Daniel was a cover. Radio 2 have played it loads the past couple few weeks and I've liked it every time it's been on.
