Lil Nas X – Jolene Cover
The MONTERO crooner, Lil Nas X has taken the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge series by storm with a cover of country classic 220;Jolene221; by Dolly Parton.
Singing into a rhinestone-encrusted mic in his straight-shooting baritone, the artist delivers the iconic 1973 hit over a sparse rock arrangement. His eyes pour into the camera with smoldering intensity as he performs surrounded by flowers. The serious, almost sinister tone of this cover is just further proof of LNX’s immense versatility as a performer.
