I think this is great, more of a "who by fire" than a "red right hand"!

My God, this is even better than part one in my opinion!
I swear she could sing a McDonalds' receipt and make it sound like the sexiest thing ever

Not sure if the world needs another cover of “Love Will Tear Us Apart” but I gotta say, I love her sensual vocal delivery here and the cheeky autotune on the BVs in the last chorus. And yes, I am glad she didn’t turn it into a slow/ghostly piano dirge but kept the danceable quality of the original.

yes!!! it fricking SLAPS!


i never liked Nick's "red right hand" and PJ's version didn't impress me at all when i heard the Peaky Blinder's soundtrack years ago; the "Who by fire" cover, as i said two years ago, is not bad per se, but it doesn't have that sound , the acoustic ( "pseudo-medieval"?) one, that i actually enjoyed in the original version. I think this time PJ nailed it, good job!!


also, is it me or there are way more tracks with actual singed vocals this time?

I loved the cover and the whole soundtrack was very interesting to listen to. There were definitely more tracks with words than last time (I was wondering if there would be beforehand, it was a nice surprise).

She won a BAFTA with Tim Phillips! Congrats Polly
