Vampire Weekend

Vampire Weekend made a bold move by tackling Andrea Bocelli’s classic love song  “Con te Partirò.” They covered it for the upcoming Valentine’s Day compilation Sweetheart 2014. The comp features various bands honoring some of their favorite love songs through covers. It’s being released by Hear Music and will only be available to buy at Starbucks stores on February 4.

Vampire Weekend handle their cover with all the style and grace that made Modern Vampires Of The City such a stand out record. They take some risks, adding a shuffling reggae beat and plenty of their own influence. But at its heart and core, it’s a dedication to the love and passion that bleeds through the song. Ezra hits all the right notes vocally, in one of his most impressive vocal performances to date. Its majestic.

They even outdid the fellas of Boats ‘N Hoes. Well done boys.

Take a listen below.
