Written by on October 23, 2024

Beabadoobee is the latest artist to join the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, and in addition to singing “Beaches” from her This Is How Tomorrow Moves album, the 24-year-old singer also performed a cover of her fellow TIME100 Next honoree, Sabrina Carpenter’s “Taste.”

In her version of the track, Beabadoobee strips down the pop song to more breezy, ethereal sound, singing the first two verses and choruses in her characteristically sweet, high-pitched voice. She then seamlessly blends the “Taste” chorus into the hook for The Corrs’ “Breathless.”

“Taste,” which was released on August 23 as the third single from her Short n’ Sweet album, recently notched its eighth consecutive week at the top of the U.K.’s Official Singles Charts and becomes the longest-running No. 1 single of the year. Between “Espresso” (seven weeks at No. 1) and “Please Please Please” (five weeks), Carpenter becomes only the second artist in chart history to spend 20 weeks atop the tally, following Frankie Laine.

Trending on Billboard

“Breathless,” meanwhile, was released in 2000 as the first single from the Irish family group’s third album, In Blue, and peaked at No. 34 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking The Corrs’ only top 40 hit. It also hit No. 14 on the Adult Contemporary chart.

Watch Beabadoobee cover Carpenter’s “Taste” and mash it up with The Corrs’ “Breathless” for the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge below.
