Listen to Rebecca Clements' barebones cover of "Boys Don't Cry"

The Bristol-born singer wowed us last year with tracks like "Wildlife" and "Coma Boy", and has just released a new single called "Pure Wasted".

This new rendition of Robert Smith & Co.'s classic heartache anthem is stripped back to the bones, with nowt but reverb-laced guitars and a low throb of bass to accompany Clements' striking vocal line. It's built to moments of solace with nothing but your own thoughts and a good view for company.

Speaking about the cover, Clements said:

"I chose to cover Boys Don't Cry as I grew up listening to British bands and I think The Cure are one of the best. They have been a big influence on my songwriting so I thought it would be cool to try a take on it. For me, they are such an iconic band and Boys Don't Cry is so quirky yet still so timeless so it was fun interpreting that."
