Whitney Release Video for Their Cover of Lion Tune “You’ve Got a Woman,” Announce More Tour Dates
Images via Sandy Kim, Secretly CanadianWhitney’s cover of Lion’s poppy 1975 song “You’ve Got a Woman,” from their recently announced covers EP, is a sumptuous take on the Dutch duo’s tune that’s also one of Whitney’s more sensual efforts.
The same can be said for their new video, which pares images of afternoon swimming and dimly lit lovemaking with the Chicago band’s indie-pop slow jam. It’s all fairly low-key and a lot of the images are fleeting, but they’re fairly illustrative in showing a whirlwind romance that has as many ups and downs as your standard episode of a soap opera. The video’s duo might not actually spend a lifetime together, but there’s enough going on to make it feel that way.
Whitney have also announced a few new tour dates, and you can find the entire slate below. Watch the “You’ve Got a Woman” video above.
