Damon Albarn performed a piano-led cover of The Human League‘s Don’t You Want Me during his latest BBC live session.
The Blur and Gorillaz frontman, who releases his second solo album ‘The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows’ this week, performed the special ‘Sofa Session’ on Jo Whiley’s Radio 2 show.
Announcing the cover, he said: “I love The Human League. “Although, a disclaimer: when it should go really high I don’t because I don’t have the range.”
He also offered up a rendition of Blur’s Beetlebum during the set.
“I was gonna do ‘Country House’ but I couldn’t make it miserable enough,” he joked. “However hard I tried.”
‘The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows’ is available on CD and vinyl.
