It’s both. I like everything that The Chromatics have done in the past year or two and this cover of Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire” from last year’s In the City 12″ is no exception. Their rendition is darker and more atmospheric than the original 80’s tune and it can’t help but sound even sexier coming from Ruth Radelet’s lips. Sorry Bruce, you are still the boss, but some things can benefit from a woman’s touch.
