The 1975 were guests on BBC Radio I’s Live Lounge on Monday
Appearing in the week of the release of new album A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships, the band performed new songs “It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You)” and “Sincerity Is Scary,” alongside a special cover, Ariana Grande‘s much-memed “thank u, next.”
Matty Healy praises Grande, saying she’s “become the main protagonist—is that the right word?—in most people’s lives. The person I see spoken about most. And somebody I’ve started to really care about for some reason. She’s had a right old tough time and I like her a lot. I think she’s cool. And she’s got a great voice. And I don’t. So I’m gonna sing one of her songs.”
I Iike the arrangement of the song and how they made it their own. Vocals are smooth! What do you guys think of their version of thank you, next by Ariana Grande?
