Sondre Lerche – “Flowers” (Miley Cyrus Cover)

For more than a decade, the tradition has been going strong: Every year around Christmas time, Norwegian indie singer-songwriter extraordinaire Sondre Lerche sends Stereogum a new recording of a well-known pop song. It started way back in 2012 with a cover of Beyoncé’s “Countdown” and has continued with tracks by Sia, Drake, Ariana Grande, Britney Spears, Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, and more. Most recently, Lerche took on Doja Cat and SZA’s “Kiss Me More” and Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero.” Today, the tradition continues.
