Back with another cover, this time Estella Dawn gives us her twist on The 1975 with a new single and video.

By Graeme Smith

Continuing a string of covers, Estella Dawn has now taken on The 1975’s Somebody Else. She gives it a stripped-back and hard-hitting first verse while in the chorus, the familiar groove kicks in. Her vocals perfectly captures the emotion of the track’s story of love gone cold and she brings it home with a powerful crescendo.

“I’ve always loved how vulnerable Somebody Else feels — like a wound that hasn’t quite healed,” she says. “I wanted to lean into that ache, but give it a darker edge, like the moment where sadness turns into self-preservation.

“It’s not about copying the original — it’s about translating it through my own lens,” she adds. “I kept asking, what does this heartbreak sound like when it’s colder? When it burns slower? That’s what I wanted to capture.”

The cover follows her take on Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black earlier this month. We shared that on this blog too, as well as a string of singles from the artist, going back to 2022.

Somebody Else is out now and you can give it a listen below.
