Band of Horses frontman Ben Bridwell and Iron & Wine have released a collaborative cover of the Foreigner hit “I Want to Know What Love Is.”
The recording will appear on the pair’s upcoming joint covers EP, Making Good Time.
“[Producer] Brad Cook suggested this one and the little kid in me who remembers skating around the roller rink in the ’80s imagining he was Lou Gramm sat up and said ‘yes, let’s do it!'” says Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam. “Such an amazing chorus!”
Maybe Bridwell and Beam will follow in Foreigner’s footsteps and pitch to be Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s wedding band.
Making Good Time, which follows Bridwell and Iron & Wine’s 2015 covers album, Sing into My Mouth, is due out Friday. It also includes the previously released cover of the Kendrick Lamar and SZA hit “Luther,” as well as renditions of songs originally by U2, boygenius and Roxy Music.
Band of Horses will launch a U.S. tour with Iron & Wine Sept. 18 in Seattle.
