287. ANIKA "HE NEEDS ME" [COVER]


take a listen to the delightful organ-bouncing, reverb-overdosed take on the wonderfully whimsical song He Needs Me, by London-based darkwave/trip-hop chanteuse Anika off the "No One's There" digital EP (2011).

He Needs Me was originally from the Robert Altman film Popeye (1980), it was written by Harry Nilsson with arrangements by Van Dyke Parks! the song was used ingeniously in Paul Thomas Anderson's marvelously offbeat film Punch-Drunk Love (2002). enjoy!
