Wet Leg have shared a stylish cover of Ronan Keating‘s 2000 single Life Is A Rollercoaster.
The rendition was released as part of their Apple Music Home Session, and it's even managed to capture the attention of the former Boyzone singer himself.
To show his approval, Keating retweeted a news announcement about the cover with the words "Love it".
Speaking of their decision to cover the track, Wet Leg’s Rhian Teasdale says "It’s been such a whirlwind for us as a band. So I think we chose to cover Life Is A Rollercoaster just because we felt like we could relate to the sentiment of it. Kinda goes hand in hand with another motto that we live by, of ‘Feel the fear and do it anyway’.
“It’s been such a wild and unexpected ride for us since starting Wet Leg, and we’re all ’90s babies, so we’ve grown up with Ronan Keating on the radio — so it seemed appropriate.”
The Apple Music Home Session also includes an acoustic version of their acclaimed single Wet Dream.
In other news, Wet Leg – comprised of Teasdale and Hester Chambers – are due to release their self-titled debut album on April 8.
They will additionally be heading out on a UK tour in support of the new release, alongside a run of in-store performances. Tickets are available to purchase on the band's website.
