Tiana Major9 had a particular goal in mind when she agreed to take part in Apple Music’s George Michael Covered series. “I chose to do ‘Careless Whisper’ because I wanted to do my own take on a classic,” the London R&B talent tells us. “I wanted to pay homage to an icon—but I would say my main concern when it came to recording ‘Careless Whisper’ was to nail it, honestly. Just nail it. I wanted to make sure that it still felt like a song that I could sing today without it being a cover. I wanted to do it in my own way.” It’s a testament to both Tiana’s care and attention and the enduring quality of the global 1984 hit that she achieves her goal—and then some. And fans of that immortal sax line, don’t worry: you’re in for a treat here.
