At a recent performance in Amsterdam with Amsterdam's Metropolitan Opera (which is still streaming here ), Antony and the Johnsons did a beautrful cover of Beyonce's "Crazy in Love," which is above for your perusal. Antony exposes an emotional tenderness that has always been percolating beneath the surface of the bluster of Beyonce's original. Plus this song is way cooler with some oboe.<br/><br/> Antony's cover of "Crazy in Love" will be the b-side to his "Aeon" single, which is out on Aug. 3 via Secretely Canadian.
