According to nme.com, Franz Ferdinand have shared their cover of Chappell Roan’s song, “Good Luck Babe!” The band played the song on Jo Whiley’s BBC Radio 2 Show on November 27. Ahead of the band’s performance, singer Alex Kapranos told Whiley: “It’s just an amazing song by an incredible artist.”
“The vocalist adds: It’s funny, you get some artists that have a moment, often it’s kind of divisive. Some people absolutely love them and some people hate them. But I’ve not come across anybody I know, none of my friends, nobody I know, who doesn’t like this artist. They’re just so good. This song’s incredible so we’re going to play it.”
