I Heard It Through the Grapevine - Ben Fowler
Ben Fowler and The Wanton Bishops present the video premiere of I Heard It Through the Grapevine.
Made immortal by the legendary Marvin Gaye, I Heard It Through The Grapevine delves deep into a tale of gossip, betrayal and the end of love – pretty bleak material for a funky Motown classic.
Now Red Bull Music Publishing composer Ben Fowler and Beirut blues hounds The Wanton Bishops have taken the story even further over to the dark side with their innovative cover version.
Industrial beats, thrumming bass and Nader Mansour's husky-voiced vocals breathe new life into the soulful original in a version from the soundtrack to the upcoming melon-twisting Terra Mater film MindGamers.
I Heard It Through the Grapevine by Ben Fowler featuring The Wanton Bishops is available from today on Spotify andApple Music.
Check out our exclusive first look at the official video in the player above.
