Anna Calvi returns with a cover of Bonnie “Prince” Billy’s ‘I See a Darkness’, featuring a spiraling duet with Perfume Genius.
“So many songs are about romantic love. But I wanted to highlight the romance of the chosen family, the depth of connection that isn’t tethered to heteronormative ideals. It’s such a powerful song about the yearning for intimacy. I love inhabiting other people’s songs. When I sing someone else’s words, I feel like I’m getting closer to myself somehow, because the songs I choose express something I can’t articulate.”
