Sam Smith, “Do I Wanna Know” (Arctic Monkeys Cover)

Happy Friday! Let’s close this week out with Sam Smith, the vocally transcendent British artist well-loved by both of your humble editors here at Ladieblog, LLC. The original “Do I Wanna Know” is a terrific, stoner-rock, Interpol/White Stripes-y single that Arctic Monkeys released this summer; Sam Smith’s version is better, and at around 3:29, it gets ridiculous. The original Arctic Monkeys video is mesmerizing, though, and if you’re interested, it’s here after the jump.

Also: Reflektor, the new Arcade Fire album, is streaming in full.
