Watch Julia Jacklin Cover Sugar Rays Every Morning

Though they haven’t made a hit in 25 years, Sugar Ray has never really gone away in the minds of millennials like Julia Jacklin, who grew up on Mark McGrath and co.’s indelible late ‘90s alt-rock-and-pop blend. That’s why the Australian singer-songwriter decided to cover the band’s single “Every Morning” for Triple J. Check out her slightly more downtempo version below.

“I’ve liked it since I was a little kid,” Jacklin says about the track. “I love any way to connect with my younger self as much as I can. I feel like we were singing it together: me now, and her back then. I have always enjoyed how spirited this song sounds… I don’t know, the song just makes me feel grateful to be alive. It makes me connected to the source of life.” (As a fellow millennial, I concur.)

Jacklin is a little more than a month out from releasing her next album, The Gem, which drops September 25 via her new label, 4AD. She named the LP after a pub in Melbourne, where she recorded it with her band.
