Jazmine Mary, the recipient of the Auckland Live Best Independent Debut category prize at the Taite Music Prize 2022 ceremony, has dropped their reimagination of Elvis Presley's swoony classic, 'Love Me Tender'.
They recorded the cover with bandmate Dave Kahn. The piece retains the songs sweet nature, and gently escalates, Mary's honeydew vocals conducting the piece. It was a welcome release on the last day of NZ Music Month and an exciting listen on the dawn of their Taites victory.
Listen below.
