Conan Gray covers ADÉLA's 'Ain't In LA' for Like A Version
Requests for a Spotify release are piling up beneath Conan Gray's ADÉLA cover. Three days after its arrival, "Conan Gray covers ADÉLA's 'Ain't In LA' for Like A Version" has passed 600,000 views, making it triple j's most-watched new upload of the week.
The conversation is about the transformation as much as the choice. Viewers pick out a hopeful, nostalgic quality, contrasting it with Gray's usual releases. In the studio, gentle strings give way to a full-band chorus, then an upbeat, syncopated passage that gets Gray moving at the microphone. Violinist Grace Rogers and cellist Emily Elkin help give the arrangement its softer edges.
But the visit isn't only a borrowed-song occasion. "Conan Gray - 'Moths' (live for Like A Version)" puts him on vocals and guitar for his own material. That performance and the accompanying cover-choice conversation round out the channel's busiest uploads right now, behind the ADÉLA performance.
Across twelve uploads, triple j also made room for an Ashnikko-Gwen Stefani cover clip and news of Australian Like A Version recordings coming to vinyl. Channel viewing is running at nearly twice its usual daily pace, while subscribers held steady over the week. Its weekly view gain was the largest among nearby music-media peers, with TroyeSivanVEVO also having a substantial week. For triple j, Gray's full session is the clearest thread connecting the week's new releases.
