Years & Years release powerful It’s a Sin Cover ahead of new drama

Years & Years have released a beautifully moving cover of the Pet Shop Boys classic.

Ahead of tonight’s (22 January) premiere of Russell T. Davies’s powerful new drama, It’s a Sin, Years & Years have released a soulful cover of the Pet Shop Boys’s 1987 classic of the same name.

While the original was quite upbeat with plenty of synths and explosions throughout, Years & Years have gone for a much more pared down version, with a more melodic piano featuring as the only instrument alongside Olly Alexander’s emotional tones.

On Twitter, the band shared a small 40 clip, and announced that a portion of the proceeds from the song would be donated to the George House Trust, a charity supporting people with HIV in the north west of England.

You can listen to the cover here or below.

Fans are in love with the new cover, with many saying how beautiful it was. “This song touches my heart. You’re amazing. I love you so much,” wrote one fan.

Another said: “Been a fan of Pet Shop Boys since the 90s and always thought Years and Years were the closest group to them in this generation, so a very fitting cover.”

And one went as far as to say: “i’m sorry but this cover alone gave me high hopes for 2021.”
