While promoting his latest album, A New Testament, Christopher Owens recorded an in-studio session for the University of Minnesota college station Radio K. During the session, the former Girls frontman pulled out a sentimental and stunning cover of Jackson 5‘s “I’ll Be There.”
With affectionate finger picking being the only accompaniment, it feels like we are watching a man sing the cherished song to a lover rather than witnessing a studio session. If anything, this cover reminds us that Owens’ is at his best in an intimate and acoustic setting.
