[NEW COVER] LANA DEL REY’S “YOU MUST LOVE ME” RENDITION

Lana Del Rey has always put a great spin on covers. She also is a very talented songwriter that brings her unique perspective and talent to songs. It is always a great experience becoming immersed in her version.

She has even covered Creep by Radiohead!

Wait no that’s just “Get Free” aka the song that Radiohead is suing her for due to the similarities in the chord progression.

Lana Del Rey recently covered “You Must Love Me,” a song originally written for the musical Evita and recorded in the ’90s by Madonna. That is a lot to live up to Lana.

Here is the original version:

Here is Lana’s cover:

Lana always knows how to make a song sexy and romantic. It is an interesting combination that propels you into her world. The listener can really hear how much she aches for the object of desire she is singing about. I actually think that this song fits Lana’s voice even better than Madonna’s. Sometimes the cover can be better than the original.

This song will be featured on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Unmasked: The Platinum Collection.

Lana stated how honored she was to cover the song:

“Andrew Lloyd Webber has been one of my primary inspirations in music, so to do a cover of one of his songs is a dream. I especially love this particular song, “You Must Love Me,” because of how unique the melody is. I’ve been incredibly inspired by all of Andrew’s work from Phantom of the Opera to Evita.”

Andrew Lloyd Webber is certainly a talented person that has impacted culture is so many ways (hello! Phantom of the Opera people!). Unmasked is being released to celebrate Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 70th birthday.

This is a great birthday present Lana, even if it is “re-gifted.”
