Lykke Li has released a cover of the famous 1963 song “Ring of Fire.” She recorded her cover with producer Andrew Sarlo for Damsel—the new Netflix movie starring Millie Bobby Brown and directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Listen to the new song below; scroll down for a Damsel trailer.
June Carter Cash and Merle Kilgore wrote “Ring of Fire,” which was made a hit by Johnny Cash. “I respect her songwriting so much, and you realize just how powerful it is when you can sing her song in any way,” Lykke Li said of June Carter Cash in a press statement. “A song of that quality can be a lullaby, it can be a hymn, it can be a country song—and it just stands the test of time.”
