Kings of Leon performed yesterday on BBC Radio 1 in support of their upcoming LP, "Mechanical Bull." In addition to showing off their new song, "Beautiful War," they surprised the audience with an unexpected cover of Robyn's "Dancing On My Own."
The dance-pop song got a power-rock-ballad makeover, as vocalist and guitarist Caleb Followill emotionally belted the tune over haunting guitar riffs and crashing drum work.
We haven't heard any reaction from Robyn yet, but it would be interesting to see what she thinks of the cover.
"Mechanical Bull" is set for a Sept. 24 release. Their single "Supersoaker" has moved up to No. 9 on Billboard's Alternative Chart this week.
What do you think of the cover? Let us know in the comments section below!
