Fleet Foxes Sing* started with a Whitney Houston song, and I reckon it’s only appropriate that he cover another one today. I love the way you can find new things in songs when you interpret them this way — the opening here reminds vintage doo-wop, something that isn’t present in either recording of “I Will Always Love You” (or in Fleet Foxes music) but which makes sense when you combine those two things. A neat little chemical reaction.
*Fleet Foxes Sing is not Fleet Foxes. Just some dude who sings like them.
