Wow this is insanely amazing! His version and Taylor's version are polar opposites, and that was nice to see. I love it when covers showcase the completely opposite ways a song can be performed. Kudos to Tay for penning and originally performing an incredible song. Props to Labyrinth for impeccably covering Tay's work. Honestly, both parties win here. Good work, you two :)
there's just something about this man, I've seen him live twice and he is truly amazing, this is better than the original and put a huge smile on my face. ^_^
I don't get why people are pushing their prerogatives in terms of which version they like better. Personally, it's nice to see musicians who are inspired. Cross breeding of different genres. Respect both artist, and both interpretations.
I'm here because Taylor Swift herself tweeted about this cover and called it "outstanding". She said, "I am so obsessed with Labrinth's version of Shake It Off. Unreal." Outstanding cover indeed!
The UK has the best artist vocally &artistically hands down and I'm American. Not that America doesn't it's just that America would rather promote artist like Britney spears and rihanna instead of the underrated ones that are far more talented but the UK appreciates real talent like ed Sheeran,Adele, Duffy, emeli sande etc..
You know that there are different markets right? That the UK artists are still popular regardless of whether they get into the US market or not? Also the best artists are always the ones that are unknown, so how would you know where they come from?

He is British with the innovative sound and the talent but you can hear he is black because he has that carisma and he has such a distinct voice. He is the man. Love it!

aw man loving this from the start but 1:31 onwards is exquisite
Yes! You can tell because he starts singing with his hands too. :-)
Moira Russell yeah because he heard em horns!!
I was on the time 1:31 as soon as i saw this message
It wasn't until 1:50 that I utter.. "WOW"! Wonderful rendition, I enjoyed it!
there's just something about this man, I've seen him live twice and he is truly amazing, this is better than the original and put a huge smile on my face. ^_^
You know that BBC Radio 1 does the best covers ever :) Thank you so much!
Labrinth is seriously so underrated
He’s so good
Damn, love this cover
its ok
i personally prefer the upbeat jumpy Taylor version but this is amazing in its own right. sounds like a different song!
But Taylors voice isn't that great so I personally prefer this.
carolina T the style of music has changed but this it's good
totally agree
Yeah everybody else in there doing his job not him.
This version is just amazing!, that last part was unbelievable!! so good!!!
Labrinth certainly made the most of that piano
All this proves is Taylor is a brilliant song writer. Love this cover.
Hey look, musicians actually playing instruments..
And so does many other artist including Taylor
How 20th century of them.
👍
Great!! Sounds like an original song!!! He really made its own!
Omg this really put a smile on my face! Labrinth is the man! Gosh this voice!!!!
I was actually smiling whilst watching this
wonderful cover, totally has his own style
One of my favourite covers, of any song! So good👌
This honestly just made my day.The happiness is just radiating off them.Those smiles are just so contagious.
You can just see that Labrinth has this passion for music that many artists don't have these days
Love his energy! He deserves much more recognition :) I hope Taylor sees this!!
get this cover to another level by speeding the video to 1.25
You're welcome :)
love what Labrinth did making this song like an old school swing but still have the uplifting beat. I want this version for download NOW!!! lol
I don't get why people are pushing their prerogatives in terms of which version they like better. Personally, it's nice to see musicians who are inspired. Cross breeding of different genres. Respect both artist, and both interpretations.
Oh would you look at it people, a singer who has a unique voice and sings really well in live.
so so good! man i need to get this on my phone
Both versions are great....up beat, catchy and fun!! Not to mention, addictive!
Dec 2021 listening to this cover was so relaxing. 😊 so under rated
What a cover!! This is brilliant.
Love it , Radio 1 keep up the good work , i tune in to ur channel every morning
I even bought ths album
Absolutely love Labrinth. I think he's a class musician!! :-)
This is amazing, why this isn't on spotify guys?It could be even more spectacular!
Best covers ever.
Only in BBC Radio 1.
BBC radio 1 covers are professional, unique and different from the original song and other covers which I love about.
I'm here because Taylor Swift herself tweeted about this cover and called it "outstanding". She said, "I am so obsessed with Labrinth's version of Shake It Off. Unreal." Outstanding cover indeed!
Ohh I love Labrinth. So happy he's back with some new music :) real genius
Never liked this song before but this cover is so good.
Really Good singer. loved the whole show. Thanks.
Phenomenal cover, would love to download it....
I realy love this cover, sounds amazing!
Better than the original one of the best covers ive heard so much passion love labrinth (:
This is actually amazing i feel so good after watching this
The best, unique, & beautiful cover of shake it off so far.. good job :)
This has now become one of my favorite covers for this song!!! Ahhh I feel like its even better than the original
Absolute LOVE this cover and love Labrinth!
falling love with this cover version..
love it, love the Labrinth man
one of my favorites. Labrinth is massively underrated.
The UK has the best artist vocally &artistically hands down and I'm American. Not that America doesn't it's just that America would rather promote artist like Britney spears and rihanna instead of the underrated ones that are far more talented but the UK appreciates real talent like ed Sheeran,Adele, Duffy, emeli sande etc..
libfuzzy Jessie J, and a lot of good bands too. agree with that. UK comes with more fantastic talent.
Whatever fits that socially acceptable level of attraction 😔 will get way more investment
You know that there are different markets right? That the UK artists are still popular regardless of whether they get into the US market or not? Also the best artists are always the ones that are unknown, so how would you know where they come from?
WOW!...Just..W..O..W!! That was beyond amazinggg!!
this is awesome.. i prefer this soulful version..Great One
Taylor Swift's producers take note, this is what a real brass section sounds like.
This is soooo good, so smooth

I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, mm, mm
That's what people say, mm, mm
I go on too many dates
But I can't make 'em stay
At least that's what people say, mm, mm
That's what people say, mm, mm
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my mind
Saying it's gonna be alright
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off (Whoo-hoo-hoo)
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off (Whoo-hoo-hoo)
I never miss a beat
I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see, mm, mm
That's what they don't see, mm, mm
I'm dancing on my own (Dancing on my own)
I make the moves up as I go (Moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know, mm, mm
That's what they don't know, mm, mm
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music in my mind
Saying it's gonna be alright
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off (Whoo-hoo-hoo)
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake

Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you've been gettin' down and out about the liars
And the dirty, dirty cheats of the world
You could've been gettin' down
To this sick beat
My ex man brought his new girlfriend
She's like, "Oh my God!"
I'm just gonna shake
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over baby?
We can shake, shake, shake (Yeah)
Yeah, oh
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (Haters gonna hate)
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off (Whoo-hoo-hoo)
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake (And fake, and fake, and fake)
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off (Whoo-hoo-hoo)
Shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off (Whoo-hoo-hoo)
Shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off (You got to)
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

Cantan cool, escogieron una gran canción.
He is British with the innovative sound and the talent but you can hear he is black because he has that carisma and he has such a distinct voice. He is the man. Love it!
