Drake Covers Nico & Jackson Browne’s “These Days”: Listen
Well, this is unexpected. Drake has covered Jackson Browne‘s “These Days,” as famously recorded by Nico in 1967, for an EP called Love Songs For Tough Guys.
This new music doesn’t belong to Drake, but Babeo Baggins of rising hip-hop collective Barf Troop. Earlier this week an unfinished version featuring only Drake’s vocals had leaked, which had fans wondering if the cover was for his fourth album Views From The 6. Amid the speculation, however, Babeo went ahead and released the covers EP, where she provides backing vocals for Drake’s rendition of “These Days.”
“Drake is a friend of mine,” Babeo says to Dazed. “‘These Days’ is my favorite song in the world and I showed him the song because he had never heard of it. He connected with it, which explains us doing the cover.”
Remember when Drake remixed Lykke Li‘s “Little Bit,” to where it sounded like a duet, for his 2009 mixtape So Far Gone? His take on “These Days” will remind you of those times. Listen below.
