Elizabeth Tan covers Lorde’s ‘Royals’ for Strepsils, gets it mostly right

Elizabeth Tan, the homegrown YouTube singing it girl who rose to fame on her acoustic cover of Joe Flizzow’s ‘Havoc’, is back with a cover of Lorde’s ‘Royals’ alongside No Noise Percussion, who despite their name provide a lot of noise for Elizabeth to croon over. 

The team-up is in conjunction with Strepsils’ The Right Note singing campaign. We think Elizabeth’s voice is a little bit at odds for a song like this, but she does her best to pull it off, and the No Noise boys certainly pull this cover out of the ho-hum doldrums admirably:
