Continuing a recent theme, strong-jowled guitar-pop singer KT Tunstall has recorded a version of Bloc Party's 'The Prayer'.

The track will feature on the b-side of Tunstall's new single 'If Only', along with a version of the Bangles' 'Walk Like An Egyptian'.

And, seeing as you asked for it...

Genuinely sounds like

if you gathered up your mum and the family dog, got her drunk, took her to a fancy recording studio and told her to knock out a cover of The Prayer in an hour.

Well said

Her face IS lovely. And she is lovely. Even if her choice of covers does leave a lot to be desired.

i thought

the headline would be followed by "not really", and details of something impossibly cool would be revealed..

Not convinced about the Bloc Party cover though.

i wish she was 'covering'

in the same way that a dog 'covers' a bitch. that's a much more satisfying image.

This is awful.

Shame

Not really liking the Bangles song either! But thanks for putting it up, anyway.

Yay! BoyDeadly FTW

I still think...

...that Bloc Party are shit, with the exceptions of She's Hearing Voices (the proper version, not the ruined album one) and Flux.

Thanks.
