Final Fantasy – Sweet Fantasy (Mariah Carey cover)

There was a moment during last year’s Electric Picnic where the weekend all came together for me. It was during Final Fantasy’s set – probably the highlight of the festival – when he launched into this undeniably endearing cover version (that’s what happens when gay indie stars perform kitsch pop songs). It’s not a new song, of course, but I came across it again today and it took me back to that moment – embarrassingly, I remember getting a little teary eyed. There’s just something about Pallett’s take on this where he nails that feeling of euphoric affection…
