Her woozy, lo-fi version is a simple update on the original, avoiding the overwrought approach so many musicians take when tackling iconic songs. Much like her breakout LP, Som (real name: Melina Duterte) revels in introspective vocal delivery and intimate production--a genuine approach that would've sat well with the four Beatles.
On Soundcloud, the artist writes, "I was commissioned to make this and they didn't use it." Despite being dismissed, you can still stream her successful cover, below.
