Now you can listen to Sufjan Stevens’ cathartic cover of 'Hotline Bling' anytime you want
Sufjan Stevens released a live album version of the critically acclaimed Carrie & Lowell on Friday that graciously features his legendary cover of "Hotline Bling," arguably the most lasting version of the song (sorry, Aubrey).
While live versions of the singles "No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross" and "Should Have Known Better" offer intense emotion and performative power, Sufjan's "Hotline Bling" gives the indie kids something to dance to for once.

Stevens' performed the cover with his opener, Gallant, at multiple stops on his tour as an encore, telling concert-goers that after performing so many songs about death and loss, everybody could use a little Drake to brighten their spirits and go home on a positive note.
It's the cover that nobody asked for, but is charming in so many unimaginable ways:

It's a happy holdover for fans who are eagerly waiting the release of Stevens' collaborative album, due out June 9, created with Bryce Dessner of the National and composer Nico Muhly, according to Consequence of Sound.
