Why do we like this?
Dark diva Fever Ray (a.k.a Karin Andersson from The Knife) recently released the single "Mercy Street." A cover of Peter Gabriel's song, Fever Ray's version of "Mercy Street" only slightly resembles the 80s pop singer's version. She added her own words and eccentric flair to best suit her undeniably distinct sound. A cover it may be, but Fever Ray certainly makes sure it holds strong to the image she has created for herself: dark, ominous, and hauntingly beautiful.

Resembling a rain storm, the electronic queen strays away from the creepiness of songs like "When I Grow Up" and "If I had a Heart" while maintaining the depth in her voice that fans have become accustomed to.

This single is a teaser to say the least for a new record in the (hopefully) near future.
