Sampled, and awful.
And…
I think it is a very deliberate sample / nod. He acknowledged the debt on the Graham Norton show just now. Much as I admire the Are We Human? Hitmaker, I think the Bronskis tune is superior pop in just about every way.
I Can Change is a great song to cover.
Dammit, I was hoping to be the first to that particular punch. If Brandon Flowers covered this, I’d join his fan club and wear the badge.
Sampling?
It’s just Brandon Flowers spoiling ‘Smalltown Boy’.
But can he change a lightbulb?
