Listen to Miley Cyrus' New, Raw Country Cover Song
Miley Cyrus may be deep into her "country Lana Del Rey backed by a choir"-esque new album, but the pop star also took some time to record a cover song for the new Free the Nipple film.
Originally sang by '70s country-folk star Melanie Safka, "Look What They've Done to My Song, Ma" is a long-time favorite of Miley's and sees the singer embracing her country roots again. Over stripped-down, roots-y production, the star sings in a slow drawl that's a lovely reminder that Miley's still a Nashville gal at heart. Longtime supporters will remember a pre-Bangerz Cyrus covering the track in her "Backyard Sessions" YouTube series. Compare the two versions for yourself right here.
