Frally’s reinvent Yazoo’s 1982 debut single “Only You” completely as a pastoral and introspective pop song imbued with rich tones and a gorgeous vocal duet between Teddy Thompson and Frally. It turns the emotionally resonant mood of the original and imbues it with a majestic grace and deep mood. It’s like a slowcore Americana song with delicate piano work providing the framing melodies, texture and rhythm with a touch of elegiac guitar around the edges courtesy of The War On Drugs’ Charly Hall. But the commanding vocals are the star here and Thompson and Frally complement each other perfectly to deliver a vulnerable yet quietly passionate love song worthy of its source material.
