Blasphemy or brilliance? Sälen take on Madonna's "Like A Virgin"

27 September 2017, 14:48 | Written by Laurence Day

Pop warlocks Sälen have covered Madonna's game-changing "Like A Virgin", adding their own signature sheen to the synthy gem.

It's a tricky task to even attempt a song of this stature, but Ellie Kamio, Paul Taylor, and Simon Milner pull out all the stops to pull it off, with disjointed synths, cranky beats, and vocals hopped up on childlike wonder. Instead of adding to the formula they boldly strip it back.

Sälen are following up a slew of big-hitting singles, including the summer's "So Rude".

Sälen are set to headline London's Oslo on 25 October - tickets are on sale now.
