LISTEN: Max Tundra’s Prince Cover

'I Wanna Be Your Lover'

The excellent Mr Ben Jacobs – AKA Max Tundra – has been quiet for some time. But not any more! He’s sent us a brilliant cover of Prince’s ‘I Wanna Be Your Lover’, about which he says thus: "I set myself the challenge of recording a cover version of ‘I Wanna Be Your Lover’ by Prince, in one day. (It ended up taking a day-and-a-bit, but I have the flu, so there.) For too long I’ve been taking months and months per song, so I wanted to see what I could come up with in 24 hours". Max Tundra plays the Vortex in London on August 5th (tickets here) You can listen to Max’s cover version below:
