In the past few weeks, Like A Version, the long-running video series from the Australian radio network Triple J, has featured Turnstile covering the Stone Roses and Oklou taking on Plain White T's' "Hey There Delilah" on cello. Lucy Dacus toured Australia last month, and she taped her own Like A Version session, covering a recent track from the Toronto alt-R&B star Daniel Caesar.
Late last year, Caesar released Son Of Spergy, an album with a ton of arty guests. The song that Dacus opted to cover for Triple J is "Who Knows," an acoustic soul-folk ramble. Caesar co-write that track with a whole bunch of people, and one of them is Bon Iver's Justin Vernon. Dacus' take on the song is quiet and inviting, and it sounds a whole lot like a Lucy Dacus number. In her accompanying interview video, Dacus says that "Who Knows" is a "perfect song." She continues, "It's my favorite type of love songs because it's uncertain. An that is another reason why I wanted to play it — it feels thematically connected to what I wanted to do on Forever Is A Feeling."
Below, watch Dacus' "Who Knows" cover and the video of her talking about the song. Also below, you'll find Caesar's original track and Dacus' live-in-studio version of her own song "Losing."
More recently, Dacus has been posting a bunch of pictures of herself and Julien Baker at Paris Fashion Week, and that's kind of wild to see if you've been following both of their careers for a while.
