Lucy Dacus released her Spotify Sessions, which included a stripped-down version of her song “Partner in Crime” off of her Home Video record. But, we were also blessed by Dacus with a dreamy pop version of Cher‘s “Believe.”

Dacus told Rolling Stone in regards to the Spotify Sessions, that, “I feel like some of my favorite lyrics that I’ve written are in ‘Partner in Crime,’ and maybe they aren’t as noticeable because the effect takes you out of it a little bit. So, I just wanted to strip it bare and showcase the song for what it is without any tricky production moves.” Along with “Partner in Crime,” she spoke about taking the auto-tune out of “Believe” as well.
“I feel like you can tell that the structure of the song is very special and I did feel myself accidentally wanting to become Cher when I was doing vocal takes. It could never happen, but I love a low-voiced pop legend,” she said.
Dacus’ version of “Believe” makes you feel like you’re the soft disco cowboy version of Cher. Give it a listen below.
These sessions aren’t the only things that Dacus gifted us this week. She also added some North America shows to her Home Video Tour. You can check out the tour dates below.
