JFDR has officially put out her stunning cover of Frank Ocean's "White Ferrari"
Best Fit fave JFDR has (properly) unveiled her version of Frank Ocean's "White Ferrari", which originally aired during Sigur Rós' BBC 6 Music Christmas Mix.
The cover was commissioned by composer/sound artist Paul Corley (Anohni, Oneohtrix Point Never), who also works as Sigur Rós' live music director. JFDR's take breaks the original down into tiny pieces and builds it back up into almost-unrecognisable shapes.
"I first heard the song in San Francisco and recorded it there and finished it on the airplane," explains JFDR's Jófríður Ákadóttir. "Sindri [aka Sin Fang] mixed it because he put it on a mixtape next to Paul's song. I like the song because it has so many different sections and many different stories."
Brazil, Jófríður Ákadóttir's debut JFDR record (she's also released lots with Samaris, Pascal Pinon, and Gangly), was released last year.
