Naya Rivera (Glee) isn’t the only ingenue heard on 2CELLOS new album, In2ition.
While Rivera only reached to 2006 to cover Muse’s “Supermassive Black Hole,” Sky Ferreira and the Croatian cellists travel back a further four decades, covering “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down).” Written by Sonny Bono, the song was originally recorded by his then-wife Cher in 1966, who reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Nancy Sinatra took aim at “Bang Bang” that same year, while Cher gave the song a second shot during her ’80s comeback, a rocking revamp that landed on her 1987 self-titled album.
2CELLOS’ team-up with Ferreira is a sparse affair closer to Sinatra’s interpretation, making their “Bang Bang” all the more haunting.
