Lucy Dacus covers Cher's "Believe"

Lucy Dacus is the latest artist to record a Spotify Singles release, and as well as releasing a rework of last year's Home Video track "Partner in Crime", Dacus has covered Cher's 1998 hit "Believe".

"I feel like some of my favourite lyrics that I’ve written are in "Partner in Crime" and maybe they aren’t as noticeable because the effect takes you out of it a little bit," Dacus explains. "So, I just wanted to strip it bare and showcase the song for what it is without any tricky production move."

Dacus added, ""Partner in Crime" was partially inspired by "Believe", so I thought it’d be nice to pair them together. I love Cher’s voice and how low it gets. The timbre of her voice is so unique, you can recognise it anywhere. Even with the autotune, you can tell that it’s Cher and nobody else. But, on our cover, taking away the autotune, I feel like you can tell that the structure of the song is very special and I did feel myself accidentally wanting to become Cher when I was doing vocal takes. It could never happen, but I love a low voiced pop legend."
