We Were Evergreen unveil their visuals to Jungle Book cover "Be Like You"
French pop troupe We Were Evergreen have shared the new visual counterpart to recent The Jungle Book cover, "Be Like You".
We premiered the track at the beginning of the month, and the three-piece told us why they decided to cover the Disney classic:
"We wanted to revisit a classic tune from everyone's childhood: the original song not only has a great melody, but the lyrics themselves have a much deeper meaning than what the Disney film shows. By keeping the melodic base but making the arrangements darker, we wanted to bring out the idea lurking behind the song: that universal feeling of envy, the need to fit in - a theme that we already developed in our first album... this track is more sombre, with a slower groove - it follows the direction set off by some of the more personal songs from our debut album Towards, and features more alternation between male and female vocals. It might be an indication of what's to come..."
The video has been animated by Nathaniel H’Limi, and was shot by the band's Michael Liot and Fabienne Debarre, as well as Katie Craik.
"Be Like You" is available on digital download now.
