Chvrches Cover Whitney Houston's 'It's Not Right But It's Okay'

Chvrches stopped BBC Radio 1 earlier this week and recorded a cover of Whitney Houston’s “It’s Not Right But It’s Okay.”

The electro-pop cover substitutes the xylophone for synth and speeds up the tempo a bit with sweeter, more ethereal vocals rather than the booming R&B vocals of Houston — essentially, it turns the soulful R&B single into a dance hit.

The Glasgow band has covered artists including Haim and even put their own spin on the Game of Thrones theme song. They recently released their first full-length studio album, The Bones of What You Believe via Virgin Records.

Watch the original here (and check out the new album below via Spotify, too), and let us know which you think is better in our comments section!
