Finland's Jaakko Eino Kalevi has unveiled a cover of Anastacia's 2004 hit single "Left Outside Alone".

Hot on the heels of Anastacia announcing her I'm Outta Lockdown UK and EU tour for 2022, Finland's Jaakko Eino Kalevi has released a cover of her 2004 hit "Left Outside Alone".

Speaking about his decision to cover the song, Kalevi said, "Last winter we had a project to re-evaluate art from the mid-2000s, including watching all the episodes of the Rock of Love reality show, which is about Bret Michaels from Poison trying to find true love. I don´t really care for reality TV shows but this one was fun to watch. This is when I encountered "Left Outside Alone" again. I’d known the song since it first came out and never thought much of it, but somehow it spoke to me. I thought I could do something with it. I liked the melody of the chorus, and it’s nice to be a little dramatic sometimes. We changed the song quite a lot. The verses were too fast, so I left some words out and sang it in half-speed. I added a wild synth solo as a climax."

Jaakko Eino Kalevi's cover of Anastacia's "Left Outside Alone" is out now on Weird World / Domino.
