Fontaines D.C. recently graced the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge with a captivating performance, showcasing tracks from their latest album, Romance. The Irish band mesmerized listeners with their rendition of the LP cut “Favourite” and surprised fans with a cover of Lana Del Rey’s beloved song, “Say Yes to Heaven.” Lead singer Grian Chatten’s emotive delivery added a touch of melancholy to the performance.
