Chvrches‘ cover of Whitney Houston’s “It’s Not Right But It’s Okay” dates back to late September, when the Glasgow trio visited Zane Lowe at BBC Radio 1 for a live session. But the band’s take on Whitney’s 1999 #4 hit is now included on their new The Mother We Share EP, recently released in the U.S. and today in the UK.

Now I love Chvrches, and I will always love Whitney, but Lauren Mayberry’s angelic voice is an awkward fit for the wronged-woman role of “It’s Not Right But It’s Okay.” She doesn’t sound very convincing confronting her conniving, two-timing lover. But who can match the late, great Whitney? So points to Chvrches for covering the song. It’s not quite right, but it’s okay.
