The set features a cover of The Beatles’ “Come Together” and Lewis Capaldi’s “Someone You Loved”
Lainey Wilson debuts her exclusive Apple Music Sessions EP, which was recorded in London and features covers of The Beatles’ “Come Together” and Lewis Capaldi’s “Someone You Loved,” as well as a reimagined version of her song “Devil Don’t Go There.”
Wilson also joined The Kelleigh Bannen Show in London to discuss the EP. On her cover of “Come Together,” she tells Bannen, “Last year when we were here [in London], we got to record a song at Abbey Road, and just really felt that energy in the building. And just trying to wrap your head around how influential The Beatles really are and what they have done to every single genre.”
On her choice of covering Lewis Capaldi’s “Someone You Loved,” she adds, “I watched his documentary and it really inspired me to see how he works, and how he just goes into his hole, and if he’s not feeling creative, he fights for it. You know what I’m saying? He fights for that creativity, which I love.”
The release adds to yet another triumphant year for Wilson, who continues to receive overwhelming attention with her acclaimed new single, “Somewhere Over Laredo,” which earned Wilson her biggest first day of streaming to date with 1.16 million. The song is from the deluxe version of Wilson’s album, Whirlwind, which is set for release August 22nd via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville.
In the past year, Wilson also won four awards at the 60th Annual ACM Awards, including her second consecutive Entertainer of the Year, third consecutive Female Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for Whirlwind, and Artist-Songwriter of the Year; was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry; won Best Country Album at the 2024 Grammy Awards; and two awards at the 58th CMA Awards, where she also made her hosting debut alongside Peyton Manning and Luke Bryan. She’s also scored eight No. 1 hits, recently debuted “Trailblazer” with Reba McEntire and Miranda Lambert. She will make her feature film acting debut in next year’s adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Reminders of Him.
