Jono McCleery airs cover of Beyoncé's "Halo" ahead of new covers "suite"
London-based singer/songwriter Jono McCleery has announced new covers record Seeds Of A Dandelion, and shared his version of Beyoncé classic "Halo".
McCleery's fourth studio LP is described as a "suite" which features his renditions of songs released between 1941 and 2013. As well as Queen B, works by Billie Holliday, Scott Walker, Atoms For Peace, Rufus Wainwright, Jeff Buckley, and Tim Buckley are tackled.
"This is something I've always wanted to try, but it was important that I felt a really strong connection with the songs,” McCleery explains. “For ‘Halo’ I wanted the song to speak for itself, the intimacy of the lyrics to come through, and for Matthew Kelly's string arrangements to shine. A simple approach that reminds me of how we recorded my first album Darkest Light."
