Arlo Parks has released a lot of great covers after dropping her debut album Collapsed in Sunbeams at the top of the year, including Billie Eilish’s “My Future,” Radiohead’s “Creep,” and Clairo’s “Bags”—she even teamed up with Phoebe Bridgers for a performance of Radiohead’s “Fake Plastic Trees.” The latest cover from the British musician is a take on Frank Ocean’s “Ivy” from his 2016 magnum opus Blonde.

The stripped-down cover finds Parks at the piano, honoring one of her favorite musicians. This new session follows another great BBC Radio cover, which had Future Nostalgia singer Dua Lipa take on Park’s “Eugene.”  Check out Park’s rendition of “Ivy” below.
