Metronomy have invited various guests including Katy J Pearson on to the new version.
Metronomy will put out a special edition of this year’s Small World album on November 29th.
Porij, Panic Shack, Nadeem Din Gibisi & Tony Njoku, Jessica Winter and Sébastian Tellier are some of the artists who’ve put their own spin on a track from the record, while the contribution from Katy J Pearson is streaming online now.
“I’ve been a huge fan of Metronomy for a long time. The records they made had a big influence on my music,” Pearson commented.
“I have fond memories of travelling up to Bristol to watch them play in when I was a teenager and the shows being so joyous. Brilliantly intelligent pop music.
“I met Joe after their show in Bristol and we got chatting. After this encounter I got asked to rework Love Factory for the special edition of their album Small World.”
“I was so excited as ‘Love Factory’ is my favourite song from the new record. It’s so beautiful! So I was very flattered and honoured to have the chance to put my own spin on it. I wanted to strip it down to basics and make it a vulnerable duet.”
“I’d been listening to a lot of Nancy Lee & Lee Hazelwood at the time so making it a pop duet felt really fun to do.”
