Lydia Ainsworth has revealed two things today: a cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game", and a lengthy UK/EU tour.

The electronic balladeer will play Brighton, Manchester and London in February.

Speaking about her decision to cover the most covered song of all time, Ainsworth said:

"The face is a threshold where a world looks out and a world looks in on itself. With every listen to Chris Isaak's Wicked Game I seem to always return enriched. It is one of the most intense and direct glimpses into another's hidden world. I hope you will enjoy my cover."
