Former Unearthed High winner George Alice has busted out an eerie and atmospheric version of RÜFÜS DU SOL classic ‘Alive’ for Triple J Like A Version today.
The singer, accompanied by her band (featuring Gabriel Strum, AKA Japanese Wallpaper), performed an impressively ‘live’ version of the EDM classic, taking on the composers notoriusly complicated soundscapes with an arrangement that captured the quirrks of the original without loosing any of Alice’s own charm.
“I was really drawn to the song because there’s a lot of depth to the lyrics,” she said.
“I worked with Gab (Japanese Wallpaper) over zoom…we made something that showcased my voice….and made it really cool.”
“With lots of my music people don’tt get to see thee behind the scenes and how invovled I am…with this cover I got to showcase both my voice and the thoughts that I had behind the arrangement,” she added.
“The message ffrom my Like A Version that I’d like to push is…I’m taking a stand for women in dance music just as great as any man that produces it or sings on it and I think that a woman can sing in dance music…it can go on a really beautiful direction if you let it.”
Alice also performed her original ‘Hold On’, ahead of her debut EP Growing Pains, due out Febuary 18. Check both performances below.
