The 1975 were the guests on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge today, performing a cover of British pop band Take That’s 1992 single “A Million Love Songs.” Watch that and their rendition of “I’m in Love With You” below. You can listen to the full session, which also included “Part of the Band,” “It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You),” “All I Need to Hear,” and “TooTimeTooTimeTooTime,” for 29 more days on the BBC Radio 1 website. During an interview segment, Matty Healy dispelled rumors that the band had collaborated with Taylor Swift.
Healy and the band have been on the Live Lounge many times. Back in 2013, they covered Chris Malinchak’s “So Good to Me” and One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful.” The next year, they played Clean Bandit’s “Rather Be.” In 2016, they performed Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” and, once again, “What Makes You Beautiful.” And, another two years later, they did a rendition of Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next.”
On Friday (October 14), the 1975 will release Being Funny in a Foreign Language, the follow-up to 2020’s Notes on a Conditional Form.
