Natalie Prass‘s new EP, Side by Side, arrives November 20 via StarTime International. As previously reported, the five-track collection features live versions of “My Baby Don’t Understand Me” and “Christie” from her self-titled debut, along with covers of Anita Baker’s “Caught Up in the Rapture”, Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence”, and Grimes’ “REALiTI”.  Today, she’s shared her take on “Caught Up in the Rapture”; listen below via Stereogum.

Prass previously stated that she chose “Caught Up in the Rapture” because “it’s the perfect song and Anita Baker can really work a shoulder pad. I have crazy respect for her.”

Here’s Baker’s original:
