Faithless are the latest artist to take part in Apple Music's Home Session series. Alongside an exclusive new version of their first single in ten years, “This Feeling”, the dance music legends perform an exclusive version of Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” with long-time collaborator Nathan Ball on vocals.
On their Apple Music Home Session, founding member, DJ and multi-instrumentalist, Sister Bliss says: “We really felt these songs had the perfect summer chilled vibe with real heart and a profound message, that seems totally relevant to the times we live in—and showcases the more mellow musical side of Faithless that people who have fallen in love with our dance anthems over the years may be less aware of.”
On their cover of “Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley: “[We just tried] to make it as emotive and still as possible, which is quite different to the beat-driven, funky original,” says Sister Bliss. “It allows Nathan’s voice and the amazing lyrics to shine through. The lyrics tell such a relevant and heartfelt story, so we really wanted to do them justice and not overcrowd the song. I also felt it had an almost gospel vibe, so wanted to add the grandeur of the church organ into the mix. The subtle instrumentation weaving round the piano and vocal gives it a distinctly Faithless, cinematic vibe, I think.”
