The Australian band Crowded House originally recorded “Don’t Dream It’s Over,”
and it became one of those slow-rock, dreamy hits that characterized
the late ’80s and early ’90s so well. Their version came out in 1986,
which was before Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, or I was born, but maybe
like me, the two pop stars heard Sixpence None The Richer’s excellent 2003 version. (I mean, it was on a Smallville compilation soundtrack, how could anyone miss that?) Cyrus recently launched a charity organization called the Happy Hippie Foundation
that seeks to help marginalized LGBT homeless youth and has been
posting backyard jam sessions to help get out the word — including an
awesome collaboration with Laura Jane Grace on “True Trans Soul Rebel.”
I was really into the one Cyrus did featuring Melanie Safka, “Look What
They’ve Done To My Song Ma,” but her new duet with Ariana Grande tops
that folk classic. The two sat on a neon blow-up couch and sang “Don’t
Dream It’s Over” as a duet — even if you’ve decided you’re somehow above
the pop music these two talented women make, this cover is worth
hearing. It’s moody, romantic, and hopeful. Plus they sound fabulous
together; Cyrus scratchy and low, and Grande with her velvet soprano.
