Amidst the buzz of his highly-anticipated new album release, Harry Styles was spotted holding hands with his American sweetheart in NYC. From hosting and performing on Saturday Night Live to preparing for his upcoming tour, Styles is making major moves in the music scene. But his recent cover of Tears for Fears’ 1985 hit “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” showcases his timeless talent.
In a recent visit to BBC Radio1 Live Lounge, Styles and his band transported fans back in time with a flawless rendition of the synth-pop classic. Dressed in a colorful ensemble, Styles crooned away while his band delivered a performance that had fans in awe. The BBC Radio1 account cleverly dubbed the performance as “perfection all the time. 80s, occasionally,” setting the tone for the admiration pouring in from fans on YouTube.
The history behind “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” adds another layer of depth to Styles’ captivating cover. Originally released by Tears for Fears in 1985, the track almost didn’t make it onto the album but eventually became a chart-topping hit. Despite being banned by the BBC during the first Gulf War, the song’s enduring appeal has led to its inclusion in various TV shows and films over the years.
Styles’ rendition of this iconic track is a testament to his musical prowess and ability to breathe new life into timeless classics. With a nod to the past and a vision for the future, Styles continues to captivate audiences with his fresh take on beloved hits.
