Violet Girl recently dropped the stripped down cover of The Cure's High for Triple J's Like A Version. She kept it simple with just an acoustic guitar, really letting her voice shine and highlighting the song's original beauty. It fits right in with the vibe of her new album, UB Sweet To May, which has this hazy, dreamy feel that she said was inspired by bands like Thee. She mentioned that High has been on her personal playlist for years, calling it a cute love song with childlike joy in the lyrics. Her obsession with The Cure started when she was about 12 or 13, after hearing Friday I'm in Love and then exploring their whole catalog. She really wanted to capture that teenage crush kind of feeling with her performance. Girl is also gearing up for a busy touring schedule.
