Adele, Rolling in The Deep: cover di Naughty Boy feat. Chasing Grace alle BRITs Sessions 2014

Si può toccare un classicone come Rolling In The Deep di Adele, spogliarlo del beat incredibile che lo ha innervato nella sua versione definitiva e tradurlo in una delicatissima ballad sofferta ed elettronica?

Si può sì, se dietro una consolle e al pianoforte elettrico metti Naughty Boy, il dj e produttore inglese che con La La La feat. Sam Smith e Lifted feat. Emeli Sandé ha conquistato le classifiche d’Albione, e lo accoppi con i Chasing Grace, quartetto dell’Hertfordshire che si innesta nel solco electro-pop dei connazionali CHVRCHES: è quanto hanno fatto i produttori delle BRITs Session 2014, una serie di video che vedono numerosi artisti esibirsi dal vivo e che sono stati registrati come anteprima gustosa in attesa dei Brit Awards 2014 del prossimo 19 Febbraio.

Per il proprio video, Naughty Boy ha voluto i Chasing Grace e insieme hanno ripreso il brano della cantante che trionfò ai BRITs 2012, Adele: un omaggio sentito che merita un paio di ascolti, per capire che quando un pezzo è bello resiste anche a tutte le cover (o quasi…)

Rolling in The Deep: testo

There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, it’s bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ‘head and sell me out and I’ll lay your shit bare
See how I leave with every piece of you
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do

There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And it’s bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it, to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I’ve heard one on you
And I’m gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Make a home down there
As mine sure won’t be shared

(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love remind me of us
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it, to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it, with a beating

Throw your soul through every open door (woah)
Count your blessings to find what you look for (woah)
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (woah)
You’ll pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow (woah)
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)

But you played it
You played it
You played it
You played it to the beat.
