Lorde has teamed up with her Melodrama album producer and Bleachers’ legend Jack Antonoff to cover Carly Rae Jepsen at the Ally Coalition Talent Show at New York’s Town Hall.
Gathering around the piano, the pair stripped Jepsen’s E•MO•TION opener ‘Run Away With Me’ into a lush, bare-bones ballad, much to widespread frothage from pop lovers on Twitter:
