Moses Sumney has shared a hazy cover of Ariana Grande‘s pop hit, “thank u, next.”

Available to stream on Amazon Music, he takes a 180 and offers a relaxed and slightly experimental take of the iconic breakup song. Sumney’s smooth vocals flawlessly breathe new life into the pop anthem, truly transforming it into his own brand.

Sumney dropped his double album græ in February and May 2020. A “patchwork about grayness,” he reflects on the ambiguity of his life and explores the concept of identity, its product of seclusion and his liberation as a child of immigrant parents.
