Audrey Hobert performed a heartfelt cover of her younger brother Malcolm Todd’s breakout track “Earrings” for her debut Like a Version appearance.
The move completes a sibling exchange that began when Todd reworked Hobert's "Phoebe" for his own Like A Version session earlier in the month. Hobert said the choice of song was never really in question.
"It meant so much to me that he sang my song, so I wanted to sing his song," she said. "In our family we go tit for tat, and we go song for song."
Hobert stayed close to the original, preserving the pace and energy of Todd's recording while bringing her own vocal melodies forward. Her main concern heading into the session was a particular section of the song that she had been mentally rehearsing for days.
"You know what I thought I would enjoy and these last few nights going to bed fantasising about?" she said. "Was singing that whole 'your love was in your head...' in one breath. Very hard. I don't think I got it. Roll the tape.
"I will never, ever regret that there's a version of me singing my own blood's song," she added.
"Earrings" is taken from Todd's 2024 mixtape Sweet Boy and has become a sleeper hit in 2026, entering the top 40 in several countries including the US, UK and Canada nearly two years after its release.
